Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

I never felt scandal and confession were necessary to be an actress. I've never revealed my self or even my body in films. Mystery is very important.

And I had a big opportunity with Richard Brooks, The Professionals, which is really a magnificent movie.

Yes, they wanted me to sign a contract of exclusivity, and I refused.

I feel that I'm at my best as a person and that I'm coming home when I walk on to a set, or on to a stage, so if I can perform in one way or another I think I'll be okay.

Many women remain unmarried only because they were too smart to ever marry a man dumb enough to marry them.
