I fought all my life for women to make their own choices, in their personal and professional lives. I made mine.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

Sheer flattery got me into the theater. Flattery always works with me, particularly the flattery of women.

Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do.

I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.
