As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished. |
You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes, yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious. |
The older I get, the less I suffer fools gladly. |
What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids? |
I had a great deal of pressure to move to LA after Romancing the Stone came out and I'd become very popular. But people came to me anyway. |
It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene. |
There are still women who are not living their own lives, but living through their men or their children. |
I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs. |
I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring. |
I have no desire to play most of the roles being offered. |
A woman can plan when to have her family and how to support a family. |
I'm not a New York snob. |
My husband says I can do anything I put my mind to, but the truth i, the only thing I want to do is act. |
I never took to Hollywood. |
I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up. |
I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me. |
Women are responsible for creating their own roles. |
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't. |
The big gap between the ability of actors is confidence. |
I think Europeans have enough tradition and respect for the experience and body of work of an actress that they don't sell out to the new ones. |
