Only in your imagination can you revise.

You never know what motivates you.

Cary Grant and I were doing a play in New York. He had a crush on me. Whenever we went to a party, he would always sit on the floor beside me. I thought that...

When the picture was finished, they took me into the sound room and then I screamed more for about five minutes just steady screaming, and then they’d cut that in and add it.

If you’re 40 years old and you’ve never had a failure, you’ve been deprived.

Theater is not to make a living, so I don’t have the money pressure.

My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be...

I’m a practicing Christian – and I’m going to keep practicing till I get it right – but I don’t feel everyone has to practice the same religion that I do. You have a right...

It’s supposed to be entertainment. It’s not supposed to be a documentary.

I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of...

I have a role now that I think becomes me. I am a grandmother.

Unlike the stage, I never found it helpful to be good in a bad movie.

I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would...

I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.

There is a time of reckoning in all our lives.

I do come shackled with whatever people think I am.

I testified in front of a Congressional subcommittee when we were searching for additional money for research. I was a bit apprehensive.

One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that’s possible. If he’d have me.

I used to wear boxers and a tank top, but now I sleep in the nude. It’s kind of weird, because I used to have to wear something to bed, whether it was a tank...

I don’t see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

A man’s illness is his private territory and, no matter how much he loves you and how close you are, you stay an outsider. You are healthy.

I definitely think that movies have the possibility to be something positive, and are really becoming teaching tools for a lot of kids growing up.

I heard that chivalry was dead, but I think it’s just got a bad flue.

I do it because I want to exercise people’s compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful.

Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can’t have things?

I look really young. I always get carded at bars. No one believes that I’m over 18, let alone over 21.
