Tell me I'm beautiful, it's nothing. Tell me I'm intellectual--I know it. Tell me I'm funny and it's the greatest compliment in the world anyone could give me.

It was so wonderful being on Batman (1966) because you could be nasty and mean, and in the '50s, women could never--unless you were some "B" picture actress--be mean, bad and nasty. It was so satisfying; I can't tell you how satisfying it was.

[interview in "Star Trek Magazine", #1, September/October 2006] Star Trek (1966)--oh my goodness, what a following that show has! I get asked about it all the time, and I receive lots of fan mail from it, even though I only did one episode.

[July 2008] Today, I walk--but very slowly. My balance is also affected. People might think I've had too much to drink, but I never drank, smoked or took drugs my entire life. If I'm out in public, I grab on to some charming, darling fellow who can steady me. I've been encouraged by the many men who have offered me their shoulders.

[on Catwoman fans] It's an honor--it really is--that something stays for so long with people in the sweet depths of their feelings.
