Pray To God And Say The Lines.

Temperament Is Something That Is An Integral Part Of The Artist. Not Temper, Temperament. There Is A Vast Difference.

Playing Our Parts. Yes, We All Have To Do That And From Childhood On, I Have Found That My Own Character Has Been Much Harder To Play Worthily And Far Harder At Times To Comprehend Than Any Of The Roles I Have Portrayed.

I Would Take A Bad Script And A Good Director Any Day Against A Good Script And A Bad Director.

You Know What I'm Going To Have On My Gravestone? 'she Did It The Hard Way.'

Without Discipline And Detachment, An Actor Is An Emotional Slob, Spilling His Insides Out. This Abandonment Is Having An Unfortunate Vogue. It Is Tasteless, Formless, Absurd. Without Containment There Is No Art. All This Vomiting And Wheezing And Bursting At The Seams Is No More Great Acting Than The Convulsions Of Raving Maniacs.
