I found through my fan mail that women... really wanted a role model.

My message is - keep moving. If you do, you'll keep arthritis at bay.

There were episodes where I would wear seven or eight outfits. It took a lot of time to get those together. What the character wears is very essential to how I create the character.

I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.

The lighting is so important. One thing that makes me nuts about the lighting now is that they spend an enormous amount of time lighting the set, the background. But the most important thing in the scene is the actor.

Scarlett O'Hara didn't think she was manipulating. That's just the way she got what she wanted.

Rita Hayworth in Gilda... there's not a shot of her in that movie that isn't gorgeous.

I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.

If there is anything I would do differently in my life, it is that I would study business more. I'm trying to teach my daughter Chloe at an early age about investing and money so she's not afraid of it.

I thought it was very important that femininity wasn't lost.

I was tired of playing the goodie-two-shoes.

I'm back to doing everything I used to, loving life as ever.

A lot of actors just do whatever they do, and wherever the camera is, it is. They don't pay much attention, but I always did. I was always very close to the camera crew. They were my best buddies, no matter what movie or show I was doing.

You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!

You really have to love the work. You can't look for stardom. That's a by-product.

I always wanted to know what lens they were on, how close they were. I didn't do it with a plan in mind, but I would instinctively gear what I was doing toward what lenses they were using.

I always wore the highest heels possible, because the other women on the show were tall.

Even colors were important to me. If it was a somber scene, the colors were muted and dark. If it was a happy or seductive scene, the colors were brighter.

I kept bugging them about making it more upscale, because I felt Abby, through her cleverness and business sense, was a character who would move up. And that's what she did.

One of my favorite movies is The Little Foxes.

My father was a middle manager at an oil company, but I never knew anything about his work. Whatever business acumen I have just got gleaned over the years.

Early on in my career, I'd go into the makeup trailer, and they'd spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I'd go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself.

I also loved musicals because I was a dancer.

I always wanted to go against hat grain because it was too restricting.

I feel more comfortable in front of a camera than anywhere else.

I love receiving fan mail.

CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can't open. A lot of times they are from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

Twice I had been stopped by these jobs, and I thought the role on Dark Shadows would go on for about three or four weeks. And then, the phenomenon began, the role caught on, the mail started to flood in.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

In terms of being a role model, I didn't start out to be one. I don't go to work every day with that in mind. But, I do get a lot of fan mail from young girls.

This was all the inspiration it took: We put 100 percent of ourselves in the lines. We personally take care of everything, from fulfillment to answering the mail.

Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.

The Postal Service delivers mail six days a week to nearly 140 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million.

At this point, I think I would garner a lot of hate mail if I was now on the cover of Modern Drummer seeing as I'm not a modern drummer anymore.

My father had all kinds of instruments in the house that he would hide from my mother. He bought them through mail order!

If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail.

Our mail product, Hotmail, is the market leader globally.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence.

I had a financial page to write in the Mail on Sunday where I'd give tips on shares. I worked there for two and a half years. Nothing compares to the burst of energy felt on a newsroom floor when a big story breaks.

There should be no censorship of mail.

Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.

I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.

He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

Star Wars was not a very big part but I enjoyed doing it and I get more fan mail for that than anything else I've ever done. It's quite extraordinary, it comes in every day, unbelievable.
