 Back then, everyone was Lana and Rock. No one had ethnic names. |
| One thing is certain. The old Piper Laurie is no more. |
| And even then when you take it, you've got to take it with your whole heart. |
| I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff. |
| Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it. |
| I've always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew. |
| And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after. |
| I never forget, remember that. Not an action, not a name, not a face. |
| The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star. |
| I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid. |
| It took a long time, but I have learned that you just can't take anything you want out of life without putting something back in exchange. |
| I dropped the script in the fireplace, called my agent and said, they can jail me, sue me, but I'm never acting again, unless I can do something worthwhile. |
