Suzanne Pleshette

I work for wardrobe. Whenever I need clothes, I take a job. If I get maybe like six changes, then I'll be a grandmother, I don't care.

I don't sit around and wait for great parts. I'm an actress, and I love being one, and I'll probably be doing it till I'm 72, standing around the back lot doing 'Gunsmoke.'

When I started in movies, they said I'd be this big star, but I was only a moderate one. Not enough good pictures. It's important to be in a good piece of work no matter the size of one's own part.

Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
