If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.

I had a lot of resentment for a while toward Kim Novak. But I don't mind her anymore. She's okay. We've become friends. I even asked her before this trip for some beauty tips.

I love San Francisco. It would be a perfect place for a honeymoon.

Well, I'm Czech, but Polish, Czech, no matter, it's my name.

The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn't really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all.

I was always opinionated.

For every answer, I like to bring up a question. Maybe I'm related to Alfred Hitchcock or maybe I got to know him too well, but I think life should be that way.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same

In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.

In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A's and daydreamed a lot

Having been an actress before becoming a producer has helped, because I realize the needs

I suppose I learned organization from Altman.

But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it.

I like to pick my own vegetables.

Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.

Theres nothing that can beat the feeling of doing a movie or a TV show that makes everyone feel good.
