Women more often than not do things which aren't remotely relaxing but are all about preening which is just another sort of work.

There is a certain kind of respect for authenticity today that there wasn't back in the days when they did 'Cleopatra ' where everything looked like a giant motel. People want to have it be authentic in the look and authentic in the way people behave.

I kept my age quiet for a good few years. I didn't see it as a positive. I worked remotely so I just didn't tell people.

We'd be working in our motel room through the night and I'd come up with an idea at two in the morning and he'd start jumping up and down pacing across the room or whatever.

With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly remotely attractive. But it's rare I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails.

I have a funny family but none of them are remotely in show business.

I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was just standing there talking.

Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.

If you live in a good neighborhood you drive home and there's a bank. There's grocery stores and big houses - but no motels. What that tells you psychologically is you protect your money and buy good things for your family to eat in your nice big house.

If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all which is hardly ever I have two daughters who make sure that never happens.
