I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.

Well, softness and femininity like yours people don't expect of me; so when they find me emotional and capable of real vulnerability, they're surprised.

When you're younger they always try to get you to do every ninny role that's going.

I don't have an act. I just talk. I'm just Lenny Bruce.
