- Most young blondes in those days [1950s] were not taken too seriously. I had wanted to work on a project [directing] all my own from beginning to end for many years. I had managers who said, "Look, you're an actress. You're not supposed to do that other business". And now I look at all the women today who are doing it, and no one's batting an eyelash.
- [After her character was discontinued on "Riptide" (1984)] I don't think the networks give much consideration about women on action shows. I think networks feel that women are mindless creatures, and they have no place on this kind of show.
- A lot of people speak to me about Honey West (1965). The character made young women think there was more they could reach for. It encouraged a lot of people.
