I'm now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.

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.

My only problem is finding a way to play my fortieth fallen female in a different way from my thirty-ninth.

I'm a tough old broad from Brooklyn. I intend to go on acting until I'm ninety, and they won't need to paste my face with make-up.

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.
