Kathy Bates2 of 4How did you deal with the 9-to-5 office routine?Not very well. I don't like getting up early. Of course, I'm in a business now where I have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to work, and sometimes I would long for the 9 to 5 in terms of just hours as opposed to the 14-hour days. But at the time, I didn't deal with it well at all. I was kind of a rebel -- a bit of a hippie. I wore strange things to work. I didn't like wearing suits, and didn't own a suit, or anything like that. I didn't have that kind of money.Now that you're more successful, what do you like to splurge on?When I turned 50, I bought myself a Jaguar convertible. That was my big splurge.

Now that you're more successful, what do you like to splurge on?
When I turned 50, I bought myself a Jaguar convertible. That was my big splurge.
