I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn't any question about my being nominated. I don't think it was a surprise.

The great actresses and actors receive awards for great roles in great films.

The John Ford pictures I made are highly regarded, but at the time they didn't seem like that.

I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

I have a private press. I'm a book artist. I publish books of other authors and artists. I do the illustrating. I set the type. I print it myself on my press. I do everything but bind it.

I wanted to be on the stage, doing very important emotional roles.

When I was little I thought, isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.
