I was in group therapy for years but it wasn't the same thing. It was more about growing.

My friends always said that I should be a comedienne - I was named my class clown.

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

I'm very close with Bob and his lovely, fabulous wife Catherine, too.

I wasn't a businesswoman, so I didn't know how to build a career.

I was always playing the hard-bitten drunk.

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

I had just had small parts in other films, and I'd worked with a lot of directors in TV.

I remember working with Rod, though, on Chrysler Hour. I was too young and dumb to know that I was supposed to be scared of anybody or anything - like getting fired or anything like that.

He wasn't directing it, of course, so I didn't work with Hitchcock.

I work out, I go to pilates, I walk and I eat everything I can get my hands on.

Well, you know, I've had a very checkered career.

And he was going to give me a song, because I'm a singer and I wanted to sing in everything.

I was an idiot in terms of career-building, but I had a great time.

I got more bands and went on the road and turn down more movies than you would believe.

No, I don't belong to a retirement community.

It hasn't been smooth or delightful every minute, there were lean years and rough years, but it's been exciting and good and I'm thrilled to be an actress and a singer and to have spent my life this way.

I didn't want to do it... I'd been trying to get out of TV for years!

I was always telling everybody that I could be funny.

I hope to have some more cracks at some wonderful roles before I go to the Great Beyond.

I was in group therapy for years but it wasn't the same thing. It was more about growing.

I was always playing the hard bitten drunk.

A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

Why pay $100 on a therapy session when you can spend $25 on a cigar? Whatever it is will come back; so what, smoke another one.

I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy.

There are people who have benefited from therapy without being confronted with the past at all.

This is really America in therapy, people trying to get themselves together and be whole.

I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.

I quit therapy because my analyst was trying to help me behind my back.

Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.

In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.

People think my work is therapeutic. I don't see it that way. It's not like I'm saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life.

We may define therapy as a search for value.

He wanted to play accordion on something of mine and I said you can play accordion, but I want you to play piano and organ on some stuff. He came over a couple times a week for two weeks and gave me therapy as to whether I should do The Thorns or not.

With the art therapy, as soon as they saw the paper and crayons coming, we couldn't get it out fast enough. And we told them to draw about the tsunami.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.

Regression to the stage of early infancy is not a suitable method in and of itself. Such a regression can only be effective if it happens in the natural course of therapy and if the client is able to maintain adult consciousness at the same time.

Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.

Singing becomes a form of therapy.

I've tried everything. I've done therapy, I've done colonics. I went to a psychic who had me running around town buying pieces of ribbon to fill the colors in my aura. Did the Prozac thing.

All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It's like a personal therapy.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.

I got problems. I freak out, go to a shrink, go through all kinds of therapy and stuff, but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.

Today I should not be identified with any kind of regressive therapy.

I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.

I take it that a successful therapy is an oxymoron.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

I'm interested in how artists and writers do this, using art as therapy. Escaping into the worlds we create. We're all victims and few of us are truly free.
