I've worked with a lot of great, glamorous girls in movies and the theater. They would always give their last ounce to get where they wanted to be.

In the theater, I could envision myself as wonderful because of the audience response to my lines.

I've always admired teachers for their patience and purpose in choosing their profession.

I can't seem to say, 'You great big wonderful man, you,' without hamming it up somehow.

'Widow' is a word I never thought would describe me, but I had to learn to deal with that.

I knew my own mother had been in the theater for a while and had taught children, because she used to teach me the pieces that she taught them, but she did much more than that.
