| It's very difficult to marry into another civilization. |
| Cinema will always have an important role to play in society. |
| The American is wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost. |
| No matter what you do, your person comes through. You can't completely change yourself on the screen. I had in mind someone colder and more in control, but I couldn't do it. This human note just crept in and maybe it's better. |
| I longed to break out of the system and do different roles. |
| There were many good actresses in my time like Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds, but I was the only dancer. |
| It's the first film that I made where the director was not present under the camera, and it threw me. |
| I had two children. I had a nanny to manage my kids. |
| The most important thing is to remain active and to love what you are doing. |

| We were all ruled by the studio system. I signed a contract for seven years. |
| You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them. |
| I know a lot of Americans in Paris who have married Frenchmen. They keep bringing up their experience, the clash of civilizations, the clash of personalities. |
| When I did small films like Lily and Buenos Vista, everyone thought my career would be ruined. |
| James Ivory comes close to the actors for the first rehearsal. He more or less lets you direct yourself and then will only correct you if he finds it incorrect. |
