When I see old movies with women in floor-length dressing gowns, or when they're going to the store and they've got a pillbox hat with a net over the eyes and white gloves, I'm offended that I can't go to the store like that.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood.

My favorite film involving scarves was little Edie in 'Grey Gardens.' I often wear scarves like that, under hats.

When I did 'Good Guys Wear Black,' I had a lot of dialogue in that movie.

I can cry at the drop of a hat. I've always found that easier than laughing in films.

I got into my very theatrical phase. I wore only black: a big black hat and wild hair and wild black clothes, and I carried a sword stick. I went there still looking like Miss Florida, and I came back looking very different.

And then I went to visit my sister in the states and all of a sudden it was just like, it's like... it's like the movie Wizard of Oz when all of a sudden it changes from Black and White to glorious Technicolor.

I can't stop watching black and white movies. I live in a world of Warner Brothers movies and all of that stuff from an older era, and I love them. I still love them. When I look at them, I sometimes think I was born in the wrong time.

When I finish a film, I put it away and I never look at it again.

I was a slightly melancholy child and I think films were a way of escaping for me.
