I still suffer terribly from stage fright. I get sick with fear. Not every night, but at the beginning and on occasion - not necessarily when I'm expecting it. You just have to cope with it - take it on the chin and work through it, trying to use the adrenalin to perform.

Hollywood is a very small world; the people who matter matter, and the people who don't matter are just like nothing.

It was never my intention to marry anybody. Economics are basically the only reason to get married, but I'm very glad I did it.

I love that country [Israel].

I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It is my contribution to ecology.

I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.

When I came into the acting profession, it was quite hierarchical. You didn't sit at the same table as the leading actor. Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud... these were very, very intimidating and powerful people.
