I don't want to be unkind to Burt [Burt Bacharach] because I'm very respectful of him, as a person and an artist, as a former husband and as a father to Nikki, but he had no real connection with her. She was too difficult for him, but it was his loss. He put her in a hospital, and it was the worst thing you can do. He had the wrong goal in mind: he thought that she was just a difficult child, and I was just a terrible mother, indulging her. He didn't know there was actually a syndrome. He thought, "Just get her away from Angie's indulgence and she'll shape up." But, of course, the doctors didn't have a clue. He does regret it, and he has said, "I'm terribly sorry. Had I known, I never would have done that.". Hide

[on Dressed to Kill (1980)] I'm sorry I didn't try to go for an Academy Award for that role. I think I could have won it. But the studio didn't want to put up the campaign, and I felt that I didn't want to go for a supporting-actor award, because I'd always thought of myself as the lead, even though by then I wasn't getting starring roles. I regret it now. Of course, [Brian De Palma] is to blame for the great performance. Hide
