Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.

I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.

Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
