I went to the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan because I love Japanese cinema.

What the public expects to encounter in an actress passed 70 is the sum of her experience, not her beauty.

I was trying to be very at ease in this arrogant person, and very worldly, but something human came into the part. I hate to say that. I wanted to be totally worldly.

I toured the Middle Eastern countries with the ballet.

You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them.

I got what I have now through knowing the right time to tell terrible people when to go to hell.

There were many good actresses in my time like Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds, but I was the only dancer.
