I like working fast, but I got to the age where the real difference between television and the movies is, I’m not smart enough to be in the movies. It’s a very political world. In all modesty, I can say that I’m a much better actor, but that doesn’t matter.

The difference between tithe and first fruit, first fruit is all of it. All of what?

It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.

When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the ’50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late ’60s, there’s an enormous difference.
