Quotes
"“The best thing about me is that I am generally very honest – not hurtfully honest, but honest. The worst thing about me is that everybody can make me feel guilty. I feel responsible about things that don’t even concern me.”
"“I’m in love with everything about show business. The only thing that ever came easy to me in life has been acting.”
"“The theater is a kind of international language, and I like it. But I have a practical bent of mind, too. In any other field, I could make only about a tenth as much as I do acting. That’s why I want to be a producer. It pays better, and you have more control.”
