Trivia
  • If you didn`t know that I am an actress, I don`t think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She`s 16, so of course I bore her.

  • Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • There were all these rumors about me... so I went indoors. No one saw me for years. And since I wasn`t around, people believed what they wanted.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • I have kept working, even if I`ve thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.

  • I love what I do, so it`s not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I`d be dead in a week.

  • If you can write it, I can be it.

  • I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I`m a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.
