[On a dull party:] It was a fête worse than death.

Eyes are the greatest tool in film. Mr. Capra taught me that. Sure it's nice to say very good dialogue, if you can get it. But great movie acting - watch the eyes!

It's perhaps not the future I would choose. I still think it's possible to make a success of both marriage and career even though I didn't. But it's not a bad future. And I'm not afraid of it.

Attention embarrasses me. I don't like to be on display.

Sponsors obviously care more about a ninety-second commercial and want to pay you more than any guest star gets for a ninety-minute acting performance.

Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for doing what I love doing.

The more you kick something that's dead, the worse it smells.
