“There is no reason why marriage should necessarily compel an actress to forego her career.”

A woman isn’t as old as she thinks she is. She’s as old as men think she is.

Forty-seven is nothing at all, nor is any age unless you’re a cheese.

Twins are so practical. It’s always nice to have a spare.

I’d started going to acting classes at 14, played ‘Medea’ at 15 and really wanted to be a classical actress.

I only began to sing because I couldn’t get a job as an actress.

Basically, I have a gift as an actress, and I want to present the sophisticated side of me as an actress and a person.

My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.

Obviously, I’m not a trained actress, and right now I’ll come out and say I’m glad I’m not.

What I like about being an actress is that it keeps you feminine. Being a director and producer makes you manly and very masculine and I don’t like that quality in a woman. But I’ll do it when the film is very close to me.

During the golden age of movie stars, there were plenty of actresses who were deemed unattractive at the start of their careers, but struggled and finally appeared more beautiful and more iconic. Sometimes that idea of being truly iconic has something to do with not necessarily being beautiful and thus trying harder.

It helps if you don’t date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?
