I'm Sorry I Didn't Wear Paint This

I Was Raised To Be In Service To Something Larger Than Myself. A Lot Of Actors Concentrate On What They Will Get Out Of The Profession, Rather Than What They Can Offer It. The Way I See It, If You Come With Something To Offer, You Can Offer It Forever.

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 Interested In Playing Old Ladies Because I Am Becoming One. And I Want To Become A Very Good One!

I'm Not Glamorous, I Don't Have A Look, I Don't Know Anything About Opera, I Have No Italian, And I'm Too Old.

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.
