I get to meet fantastic people and I get to go through so many emotions. For me I have a craving for that. When I'm acting I feel great. It's not to be famous.

One of the pleasant duties of America's most famous announcers during the relatively short swing era of the big bands was to host late-night remotes from some of the most famous ballrooms throughout the country.

I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he'd tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great how famous or successful a man or woman may be each hungers for applause.

People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.

I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.

The stones themselves are thick with history and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity which is where I found myself for a large part of my life it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!

My family makes these vinegars - out of everything from grapes to peaches and cherries. We go through the whole process with the giant vat and drainer label them and give them as Christmas presents.

You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid who treated you throughout your life.
