There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.

Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.

I became an actress because I discovered the world of the imagination when I was about 14 or so and the concept that you could engage in this amazing world of storytelling. I saw a production of Hamlet, and I didn't know Hamlet died in the end.

Los Angeles is Hollywood and Hollywood is Hollywood Blvd. It's the first thing you want to see. It's the only thing really that you know about as far as Los Angeles is concerned. And so you go and you look at Joan Crawford's hands and feet and the whole history of American filmmaking is encapsulated in that one little area on that one street. That street, to me, has always been the street of dream.

There's nothing sexy about doing a nude scene. It's rather uncomfortable. I like dressing up rather than dressing down.

I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.

I think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it's not altogether successful.
