1 Age

  • 1. It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear in terms of concept… It's not about age. It's about taste and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.
  • 2. I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now maybe things would happen for me but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians 12 dancers two major guest stars 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.
  • 3. Of middle age the best that can be said is that a middle-aged person has likely learned how to have a little fun in spite of his troubles.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I have an amazing relationship with food.
  • 2. There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go 'Oh yeah okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.
  • 3. The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time and then I speak it it's amazing how the light shines so much brighter.

3 Anger

  • 1. Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
  • 2. Your anger is a gift.
  • 3. It's a very difficult thing for people to accept seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture.
  • 2. Charles was very intent to use his years as Prince of Wales to make his mark while he still had freedom of maneuver that he wouldn't have as King. The first subject he really went for was architecture. It made an impact.
  • 3. The process I go through in the art and the architecture I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
