Peggy Lipton

Despite 'Mod Squad's hit status, I never really made the inner connection that I was contributing.

My love affairs were more often about the fantasy than the actual person I was involved with.

I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.

I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.
