I was tired of playing the goodie-two-shoes.

I always wore the highest heels possible, because the other women on the show were tall.

My message is - keep moving. If you do, you'll keep arthritis at bay.

You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!

I was seventeen and the star of my high school play. I was supposed to kiss my leading man, but I couldn't stand the guy. I really didn't want to kiss him. All during rehearsals, I refused to kiss him. Then my drama teacher told me, If you don't kiss him on opening night, you'll flunk drama class. So I kissed him, and that was my first kiss.

I also loved musicals because I was a dancer.

I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.

I always wanted to go against hat grain because it was too restricting.

I thought it was very important that femininity wasn't lost.

My father was a middle manager at an oil company, but I never knew anything about his work. Whatever business acumen I have just got gleaned over the years.

We cannot stand by and allow the future of our country to be undermined by the reality of American children going hungry! Please join in to help the 12 million children who are malnourished in our country.

I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.

Scarlett O'Hara didn't think she was manipulating. That's just the way she got what she wanted.
