Quotes

  • Sure I'm sad I've never made it to being a big superstar, but I feel absolutely no bitterness. I came out of a town with 250 people and what I've done is extraordinary.
  • My personal happiness is much more important than my career, my primary aim is to have a happy home life. Those great ladies the silver screen have wanted what I've been able to get, but they've not been able to give up enough to get it.
  • I also studied with Stella Adler every summer until just the last few years. She taught pure technique. They didn't call it The Method back then, but she was working from the theories. [...] I worked on physical movement, body language, and how to use your imagination. Not drawing on your memories, which I consider unhealthy. Just using your imagination is limitless, where using just your experience isn't.
  • I used to be offended when they called me that. Then I began to enjoy it. It's better to be the queen of something than nothing. One of the things that's kept me mentally healthy during many heartbreaking periods in my career is that I have a very strong direction about facing reality. If something's wrong, I try not to blame somebody else or the situation. Since I seem to be a rather content individual, I guess it's working.
  • I didn’t know I was doing film noir, I thought they were detective stories with low lighting! Even Kubrick, in 1955 during filming of The Killing, never used the term film noir to my knowledge.
  • Though I’m sure Stanley Kubrick was full of energy, he didn’t seem like it because he was so quiet and he moved very calculatingly–rather slow physically.
