thinking looks way
I don't dislike the way I look. I think I look fine. I think I look extraordinary for 88. And I've got energy. Out of my way.
thinking thrill world
I don't think there's any thrill in the world like doing work you're good at.
thinking years two
The terrifying thing in my life is that I am just an actress. And I have to keep pushing it and getting approval, approval, approval or I don’t think I’m worth two cents. And I am starting to get over it, thank God. And I’m just sad because I don’t have many years left and I wish I had a longer space of time to think that Elaine Stritch is okay.
mother couple thinking
Well if I had my choice I would not - I wouldn't mind working with Alec Baldwin, but the mother role - I'm kidding. It's terrific. I'll tell you what happened with Alec Baldwin and myself. This is a couple acting together just this side of heaven. He's one of the best actors I've ever worked with in whole life. And I - I'm not overdoing it. I just think he's about the best around today. So I got lucky.
thinking long bells
I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.
thinking two decision
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
thinking interesting people
I think the most interesting New Yorkers are the people who were not born here.
believe thinking pope
I do believe in the infallibility of the Pope, because I think we have to believe in something.
estate fell hammer last less life minute nail point
I've come to the point in my life where less is more. The minute the last hammer fell on the last nail I called the real estate office.
jungle learn method school sending tiger
Marlon's going to school to learn the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.
funny
I'm funny when I want to be. And I'm even funny when I don't want to be.
badly paid
When I want to do something badly enough, I do it, but there is a practical side of me that thinks I should be paid fairly.
definite
There's certainly nothing lasting and definite about the theater.
My movie career - if such a thing even exists - is laughable.
