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

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

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

I'd been out of the movies for years, I had had a wonderful stage career, yes, in musicals and so on, but you don't really make any money in the theater.

I very seldom said no, and I was aided and abetted by my husband, who realized that the one thing I could do was to be a very good actress, by his note.

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.

The thing I always say is that I wasn't going out reaching for roles, I wasn't fighting for roles - people came to me. They always came to me.
