“I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.”

Warren and I are friends, but working with him had been difficult.

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm… and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.

I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.

The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.

Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it’s part of growing up.

Today’s films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

I didn’t know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don’t want to be that type.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

Water is the driving force in nature.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.

One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you.

We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature to the service of mankind.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
