Having a Broadway credit is nice, but when you get right down to it, it's just another play. It's just a play. It's just entertainment. In the big picture, is this play, is any play, is any movie or TV show, really all that important? Show less «

I never kidded myself about what I did as an actress. I never pretended that what I was doing was some great art form. When you start thinking you're great, that's when your integrity goes by the wayside. That's when you lose touch with the common folk. Well, when you lose touch with the common folk, when you start thinking that you're bigger and better than them, that's when you lose touch with reality. I could never think that way. As far as I'm concerned, I am the common folk. I am the common man, and the common man is me. Show less «

Television ratings? I think they're kind of pointless. Are we talking about something we can have with meals, or are we talking about something... what is this? I'm not sure I understand that at all. Seems like a wasted gesture unless they're planning on putting on a lot of nudity. Which is probably what they're planning. I mean, God, let's show some more boobs. Geez! Just what we need. I mean it's incredible. It's really amazing. So, I don't think very much of TV ratings. I haven't had any cause to so far. I don't know if they actually mean anything to anyone. Show less «

I am the common man. I am the common man. And the common man is me. When you start thinking you're great, when you start thinking you're bigger and better than anybody else, that's when your integrity falls by the wayside. I find that offensive. I find it repulsive when people think they're bigger and better than the truth. Show less «

I always thought of Mission: Impossible (1966) as a very Republican show. Well, I was more than okay with that, because that's pretty much where I was politically. I don't think that's where Lesley Ann Warren was though. I love Lesley. She's a terrific actress, but she was really out of place on that show. I mean, Lesley Ann Warren's being on "Mission: Impossible" was like a Democrat being at a Republican convention. Show less «

Somehow or other in this country of ours, we need to, just as citizens, we need to be able to divorce ourselves from our political affiliation, and our need to follow the party line, because therein is the destruction of our individuality. When we are so immersed in that system, that we're unable to make rational decisions or to look at a situation that is ultimately and obviously a beneficial situation, and not be able to agree with it simply because it is proposed by a person of a different party... that's beyond belief for me. It's just completely outside any kind of rational thinking as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, I don't believe that we're smart enough to be able to operate in a situation like that. Show less «

The 1930s, '40s, and '50s was when they made real motion-pictures [sic]. I don't have one film in my personal collection made after the 1960s. The reason for that is since the 1960s, most of the films we've been making aren't motion-pictures [sic]. That's primarily because we're so interested in invading the privacy of our characters.
