I remember working with Rod, though, on Chrysler Hour. I was too young and dumb to know that I was supposed to be scared of anybody or anything – like getting fired or anything like that.

I work out, I go to pilates, I walk and I eat everything I can get my hands on.

I was always telling everybody that I could be funny.

My friends always said that I should be a comedienne – I was named my class clown.

I was an idiot in terms of career-building, but I had a great time.

I was in group therapy for years but it wasn’t the same thing. It was more about growing.

I wasn’t a businesswoman, so I didn’t know how to build a career.

He wasn’t directing it, of course, so I didn’t work with Hitchcock.

I had just had small parts in other films, and I’d worked with a lot of directors in TV.

I hope to have some more cracks at some wonderful roles before I go to the Great Beyond.

I didn’t want to do it… I’d been trying to get out of TV for years!

And he was going to give me a song, because I’m a singer and I wanted to sing in everything.

I got more bands and went on the road and turn down more movies than you would believe.

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler – I was the only one that lived to tell the story – so I called myself the romantic lead.

It hasn’t been smooth or delightful every minute, there were lean years and rough years, but it’s been exciting and good and I’m thrilled to be an actress and a singer and to have spent my life this way.

No, I don’t belong to a retirement community.

Well, you know, I’ve had a very checkered career.

I was always playing the hard-bitten drunk.

I’m very close with Bob and his lovely, fabulous wife Catherine, too.
