Untamed Youth' was my favorite. I got to sing and dance and do my own gyrations.

I'm going to tell you something: it's a job to be glamorous. I mean, if you think it comes easy, it doesn't. Marilyn went through it; all the sex symbols go through it.

I was always protective of Jayne. I never allowed people to talk about her behind her back because those same people would talk about me.

Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and I were so different from each other. I was doing very young movies, and Marilyn, who was ahead of me, was doing a lot of homogenized movies that weren't quite as wild as the ones I was doing. Jayne was more of a character of herself.

There were times in my career when I would try to write songs like Bob Dylan... Artists get hooked up in that. To be a follower, you lose.

I hope to have a career like Jodie Foster, going from child to adult actress.

A whole generation of people that didn't know me from 'SNL' recognize me from 'Weeds' now. People recognize me once in a while and appreciate the work. It gets a little embarrassing but it's good. If you work as an accountant, you don't have people coming up to you in the streets saying, 'Hey, great job on tax statements!'

Someone might come close to dying, and they'll enjoy life much more than everyone else. I came close to the death of my sports career, and I enjoy everything coming my way.
