Thanks Darling for the beautiful flowers and all the prayers. Now can you just get my puppy past security?

To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, "Action!" Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.

I find it rather tedious working with some actors who have to go into a corner and bounce up and down, shake their hands and arms, saying to the director, "Just a second - I'll be ready in a few minutes, " while all the other actors are waiting around to get in. Then they say, "OK! I'm ready now." And then they come on and do it exactly the same way they've done it in rehearsal.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

I, along with the critics, have never taken myself very seriously.

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my rather puritannical upbringing and beliefs. I always chose to think I was in love and that love was synonymous with marriage.
