― How Y'all Doing?: Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived
“More than anything though, I wanted to have a man's suit, male in every particular. Was I 'butch' as a little girl? No - I simply wanted not to have to wear dresses. Now, I adore the little summer frocks I have, always made to the same pattern. There is a subtle difference between a frock and a dress. Mine are all 'frocks'. They've all been made for me by various wardrobe mistresses on every film and play I've ever done. I look like a throwback to the 1950s but they're comfy and suit me and they ALL have pockets. Pockets are essential in my life, and every garment I own must have them.”

“There is always one person who gets under our skin, who knows our weak spots and neuroses and can’t help but go in for the kill. They are the people who wound us the most, because we care so much about what they think. For my mother, that person was PopPop. For me, that person is my mother.”

“Život u kojem su riječi ljupkost, čestitost, predanost upisane u pradobne činjenice prošlosti materinjeg jezika. Uz njih, ravnopravno, ponosna u svojem ladanjskom vrtu, možda i uz domaćinov bazen, stoji i riječ dokolica. Ona zna da je nekada bila prva pratilja riječi život, da je slijedila prije ili odmah poslije nje. Pripremala je bića za velike događaje, u njezinu krilu rađale su se ideje, ona je otvarala vrata ključnim trenucima velikih biografija i osiguravala vrata ključnim trenucima velikih biografija i osiguravala prostor i vrijeme kasnijim analizama i ocjenama. To je bila dokolica u godinama u kojima je izgovaranje riječi život praćeno ponosom i vjerom. A kad je život postao nešto drugo, nešto što treba izdržavati, u čemu se treba nadmetati, nestalo je i prava na dokolicu. Laptopi, siva izglačana odijela, svilene dizajnerske kravate, šoping centri i restorani brze hrane izgurali su riječ dokolica. Uz sve to ne ide dugo ispijanje kave. Jednostavno, ono ne podnosi brzinu i trenutak.”
