Quotes
- “A houseboat is my speed, I’m usually frightened in anything that moves. A rougher than expected trip up the Hudson with friends this summer, scared the hell out of me. But I still haven’t learned how to stop it.”
- “Family is the best thing I’ve ever had. My family is my life. There’s something primitive in your feeling about family,”
- “You have to know the insane odds, but you have to have the energy to buck them. You don't know if you're going to get a job anyway, so why give yourself the extra added handicap of dying if you don't play St. Joan?”
- “I want to thank Troy, N.Y. … and everybody I ever met in my entire life.”
- “I figure you're a successful actress only when you don't have to work.”
- “Not nearly as exciting as it would be if I were acknowledged as one of the greatest lays in the world.”
