At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people. |
Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood. |
We all lose our looks eventually. Better develop your character and interest in life. |
Working with Candy Bergen was really wonderful. |
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave. |
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn. |
When I am working on a movie, all I want to talk about is the movie. All I want to be with are the movie people. It's like a clan. If I'm asked to people's houses for dinner, I hate to go, because they'll talk about other things. |
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen. |
I have never given up on men easily. |
I think I am an adult. |
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part. |
Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together. |
Time seems to stop in certain places. |
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually. |
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. |
Marriage has just never interested me. |
You need to become a good listener. As you're working, you hear someone else's lines and how you absorb them becomes your acting. |
I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty. |
To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give. |
I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days. |
