I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.

I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.

The collaboration really begins once the rehearsal starts. This is when the actor takes his place, because he becomes the one who is going to bring the words of the author off the page.

Actors are not made, they are born.

Roles came to me. I was very, very lucky in that respect. Great directors, great writers, great producers - they saw something in me that they wanted for their picture or their play or whatever it was, whether it was Edward Albee or whether it was - or Peter Hall, directors. They would come to me, thank God. I was lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.

I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.

I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
