Quotes

  • I never was the pretty one, but I've got character. A character is somebody who isn't good-looking. And they want old women regularly around here for films, television and ads--commercials, that is. All this gives me a soft cushion under where I sit, a fine car out in front and anything I want to order at the best restaurants in town. What else could a girl want?
  • "A very young man. Need I say more? It was off and on for some years, but you can't be a jackass all your life." (AS - regarding her first and only marriage)
