I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.

Don't you get a swollen head. There's always someone who could come and do what you do, maybe even better, so be grateful and work hard.

If the director says you can do better, particularly in a love scene, then it is rather embarrassing.

I think every young girl at some point in her early life wonders what it's like to be a princess. They like the idea of dressing up and the fun of it.

In a way I do hate the process of writing. It's like learning a role where you never think you're going to be able to conquer it when you start and it just takes enough focus and narrowing and getting enthusiastic and not losing it and so on. It's never good enough, but you aim for something and you hope it comes somewhat close. But it is a pleasure once you have written it.

Well it's all right to cry. It helps a great deal sometimes.

The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.
