Remember What Bogie And My Mother Both

My Life Has Had Meaning, With The Friendships Full And Valuable And Essential To Me. My Children, Steve, Leslie, And Sam, Are All Different-all First-rate Human Beings With High Standards-whom I Completely And Unequivocally Adore-don't Always Agree With-but Always Admire And Respect. They All Have Wit And A Sense Of Humor And, Thank God, I Have Hung On To Mine.

Well, The People I've Known I Must Say Are Extraordinary. When I Think About Some Of Them, I Can't Believe That I Knew Them All. And I Think The Reason I Knew Most Of Them At The Beginning Was Because They Were Of Bogie's Generation, 25 Years My Senior, Not Mine. But They Were The Most Talented People Of All.

If There Was A Pause In A Conversation With Anyone, You Could Always Light A Cigarette, Or If A Man Lit A Cigarette For You, You Could Look Up. It's The Most Dramatic Thing In The World Because It's Intimate, It's Suggestive, And That's One Of The Problems With Giving It Up, Is That It's A Very Useful Tool.

I Never Believed Marriage Was A Lasting Institution . . . I Thought That To Be Married For Five Years Was To Be Married Forever.

I Am Essentially A Loner.
