I Am Essentially A Loner.

God If The Press Ever Quoted Anyone Correctly It Would Be Brilliant.

Acting Is A Life Of Rejection.

The Problem In America As Far As Actors Are Concerned - And It's Probably True In Other Fields, As Well - Is That They Don't Value People Who Are Older Or Talented. I Don't Think Ability Means Anything. How Much Money You Have Or How Much Money You Can Make For Them Are The Only Things They Seem To Care About Or Understand.

My Life Has Had Meaning, With The Friendships Full And Valuable And Essential To Me. My Children, Steve, Leslie, And Sam, Are All Different-all First-rate Human Beings With High Standards-whom I Completely And Unequivocally Adore-don't Always Agree With-but Always Admire And Respect. They All Have Wit And A Sense Of Humor And, Thank God, I Have Hung On To Mine.

I Don't Consider Myself A Great Actress. I'm Just Trying To Stay Alive, Actually. I Think I'm Good, And I've Learned A Lot, Certainly, Mostly In The Theater. I've Been Sloughed Off Movies For Years. But What Can You Do? That's Life.
