I figure you're a successful actress only when you don't have to work. - Maureen Stapleton

A houseboat is my speed, I’m usually frightened in anything that moves. A rougher than expected trip up the Hudson with friends this summer, scared the hell out of me. But I still haven’t learned how to stop it.
