Oh, of course they would be good friends of yours. Aren't they the greatest? The greatest. Oh, and Sheila. I know. Cause I mean, I knew Sheila more because she booked me for David Letterman.

Yes, we did. I remember I was going, God, she just built like a rocket ship. I just remember loving you. Me? Man, I am going to work out more. No, stop it. I was so inspired. I remember being thrilled that we were on at the same time.

I can see it. Oh, sweet. Oh, my gosh. Isn't that fun? Are we foxes or what? We are stone cold fucking foxes. I love it. And I was so happy that you were, you know, friends with Jane. Fonda, yes. Yeah. You're political. And I just, I love who you are in the world, too. So, you know, we're going to go on and on like this.

People are going to just shake their head and go, you guys just make a date and sleep together. Yeah.

Did they drive you crazy?

No, no, I love... I loved it, but I have two brothers. I'm not a girly girl anyway, so it was really fun. I was kind of a tomboy. I never identified with hair and makeup. I just wasn't into shopping. I didn't want to be a wife and mother. From the get-go? Yeah. Gidget was a big role model from when that book and movie came out. Yes.

When she was not accepted in a man's world of surfing and then she got really good at it. Yes. You're the Gidget. Yeah. And then I've also said this on interviews, but I really loved Amanda Blake because she had red hair and she owned the saloon and she didn't have to get married, but they were way in love. And I just thought that was so cool because...

A lot of women, the mothers of my friends in L.A. when I was growing up, somehow in the middle of our teen years, a lot of them were getting dumped. You know, the husbands were marrying younger women. Uh-huh. You know, either the wives later, I realized, might have been premenopausal or when the kids, you know, my dad left my mom when I was 19 and found a younger woman that he was closer with.

I mean, I don't know what went on between them closed doors, but... Parenting teenagers can put a lot of stress on a relationship. Sure. And my dad was away a lot and, you know, my mom was... You know, it was difficult. And so I just got the message where I just don't want to have to depend on any guy.
