A Critic Never Fights The Battle; They

Both My Parents Were Actors. I Was Schooled To Think That Acting Was An Important Social Service, That It Was Something That Human Beings Need.

You Know, My Hair Is Very Upsetting To People, But It's Upsetting On Purpose. It Is Important To Look Old So That The Young Will Not Be Afraid Of Dying. People Don't Like Old Women. We Don't Honor Age In Our Society, And We Certainly Don't Honor It In Hollywood.

I Am A Greedy Actor In The Sense That I Like The Big Bites. Put A Big Fat Steak In Front Of Me, And I Will Eat It.

Women Are Usually Only Interesting To Studio Executives When They Are Fecund, Between The Ages Of 15 And 30. I Decided To Get Through The Really Tough Patch, Around 50, By Just Cutting My Price And Playing Ten Years Older. I Didn't Want To Have To Wait Until I Was An Old Lady To Play One.

I'm Sorry I Didn't Wear Paint This Morning. I Tend Not To Wear It Unless I'm Getting Highly Paid.
