All through the long winter, I dream of my garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar.

The theatre demanded of its members stamina, good digestion, the ability to adjust, and a strong sense of humor. There was no discomfort an actor didn't learn to endure. To survive, we had to be horses and we were.

Egocentrics are attracted to the inept. It gives them one more excuse for patting themselves on the back.

There is no racial or religious prejudice among people in the theater. The only prejudice is against bad actors, especially successful ones.

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.

At 50, you need to laugh about your age. If you don't, everybody else will do it for you. Happy birthday, old chum!

An actress always knows when she's hit it and mostly you haven't; but once or twice I think I hit it right, so maybe that's good enough for one life.
