I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios eat themselves out and burn themselves up like me.

When I was at school at Paris, I had special lessons from Mademoiselle Antoine, an actress at the Comedie Francaise, and I was taken to every sort of play. I felt very grand.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.

My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.
