So if you play somebody who isn't so lovable, you can play that person and no one will turn on you.”In their words"'Darling! Listen to Me'"“As an actor you can't approach the character with that kind of awareness or it plays as 'I hate myself.' Dottie thought she had a right to her life and that was tricky to play.”In their words"'Darling! Listen to Me'"“When I was a kid and I would get upset when people laughed at me when I didn't mean to be funny. I would always hear: 'We're not laughing at you.”In their words"'Darling! Listen to Me'"“Don't ask me about Beverly Hills High School. Everybody hated it. I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it.”In their words"'Darling! Listen to Me'"
