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

The constant attention is what is so difficult.

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.

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.

You can’t control other’s emotions so focus on your own.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. We become closed – not only to people’s pain – but also their happiness.

Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.

It is harder to fight pleasure than to fight emotion.

We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.

When a man is prey to his emotions, he is not his own master.

If we live in a world governed by feeling and emotion, let’s just make sure it’s a good one

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.
