To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.

I've been related to everything. Even the production; I knew how much it cost, I knew where the money went. It didn't last long, because hierarchy came back again.

As soon as an actress is past 40, they call her a grande dame. As long as I'm here in good health, I'm stable.

I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.
