I just don't really see the dialectic between inside and outside, and corporate and revolutionary, as being as cut and dry as I used to.
I don’t like live music. (I know that is a very despicable opinion.) I love great recordings.
I’m actually suspicious of people who have a lot of friends.
We just can't keep putting all this CO2 into the atmosphere, and we're so dependent on fossil fuels. We have five times more renewable energy in wind in North Dakota than we use in the United States. North Dakota could be the Saudi Arabia of wind!
I told Sean Connery he’d have to lose his Glaswegian accent and take elocution lessons if he wanted to be an actor. When he became James Bond, I never got a chance to tell him how wrong I’d been.

The death of my beloved husband Bob [Bradford, an American movie producer] in 2019 was devastating because he hadn’t been ill. We were married for nearly 56 years and together for 58. He had a stroke in the night. His last words were, “I love you.” I’m so glad I told him, “I love you too, darling.” A week later he was gone.
I see a woman I like, who is always worried about her hair.
No man has ever tried to pinch my bottom or lay a hand on me, and they’ve always shown me great respect. There’s a lot of rapists and bad men out there but a lot of decent ones too.
