The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.

You can only lead by example.

I would rather spend one night with Dracula dead than with my husband alive.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

I always choose to do the thing that scares me.
