Quote

We need women friends, women who challenge us... I have chosen not to have any more plastic surgery. Sally Field and I have kind of made a pact about that. It's really hard, especially if you're a public person. But I want to give a face to aging.

I confess. If the law had been appiled to me properly for what I did in Vietnam, I'd have been convicted for high treason.
