A --- (Smiling evasively) --- “It’s a composite!”

Q --- “How old do you say you are?”

A --- “Oh, I’m 30.” (Laughing) “JUST!”

Q --- “How do you play this alcoholic singer part?”

A --- “She’s loaded. She tries to sing with the record playing in the background. It’s just dreadful.”

Q --- “Is that good for a girl singer like you with a big reputation to protect?”

A --- “I think my father made the greatest comment --- he’s the one who goes to all the movies. He said, ‘I forgot you were in the picture. I forgot you were my kid.”
