 Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen. |
| The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it. |
| I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18! |
| Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody. |
| A sitcom. I hate that word. |
| I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many. |
| We all have levels of performance. |
| Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides. |
| I started in London, as a kid. My mother knew I had sort of an inbred talent. She was an actress, so I inherited it from her. But I think I got a lot of it from my grandfather, who was a great politician. |
| Believe me, it jabs you. When you're on the side of buses and New York loves you, you love to go out there every night. It's like a race. Curtain opens, out you go, and New York is yours. |
| I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start. |
| I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me. |
| The theater is magical and addictive. |
| I never regretted what I turned down. |
| I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything. |
| I don't think about going back to the theater. |
