Barbara: (about the real-life responsibility in staying with one's spouse) Marriage takes work, but so does living alone. One of the things you have to work at is to have enough human resources and to plan ahead... be willing to take responsibility for making the arrangements and building the bridges. People will walk across the bridge to you, but they probably won't build the bridge, and once you accept that, then you can have a very full life.

Barbara: (on how Don Adams created the role of Agent 86) And that was then buttressed by that tremendous energy that he had and an intelligence that was quite different to Maxwell Smart.

Barbara: (on meeting new friends other than just actors and/or actresses) I wanted to meet people who were outside the business. In Los Angeles, when you're successful in some way, you kind of forget the rest of the world. Here, there are doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, a lot of other worlds. And I wanted to live among people more. I live in this old house with other people. I like going downstairs and saying hello to the doorman next door.
