I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be.
People believe what they want to believe.
I'm very proud of 'That Kind of Woman' with Sophia Loren, directed by Sidney Lumet, and I loved doing 'Gunman's Walk' because I finally got to play a bad guy.
I love singing. You know, my mother always used to encourage me, 'Sing, sing,' and I was in a choir in church, yes.
I believe one's sexuality is one's own business. I really don't go around discussing it. Call me 'old school' on that topic.
I'm very grateful for this road that I've been on - it's been a good one. It's been a tough one at times, too.

John Wayne treated me fine, but that macho stuff turns me off. It's not real.
I did Polyester, and I don't regret one minute of it. It was wonderful.
I'm a very private person who grew up with a strict German mother who believed 'loose lips sink ships.'
People place such importance on the external. It's disgusting.
I was born in New York. I grew up in San Francisco, Long Beach, and Los Angeles.
I lived a very don't-ask, don't-tell life.
A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured, Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years, but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.
