experience free good happy joyous liberated life titanic
I think to have done TITANIC would have been a tortuous experience altogether. I feel good about where my life is, now. I feel free and joyous and happy and more liberated than I have ever been.
anyone fair fun good knew leave room tease trying
He was just trying to tease me-I knew that later-but he said he'd have to leave because it wasn't fair to have anyone in the room who was going to make fun of what he had to say. He had a good sense of humor, really.
admired came good john married monk
I always admired good writing and read everything that came out. When I was married to John Monk Saunders, he read everything, too.
four help imagined miles monster scream situation
I just imagined I was four miles from help and, well, you'd scream too if you just imagined that situation with that monster up there!
men names juan
Juan Tripp was a friend. Good name for an airline man, huh? Juan Tripp after another?
thinking views clothes
Actually, the camera was never overhead at any time. It was always a side view of me. Subsequently, after the picture was released, I saw some scenes from above and my clothes being pulled-and I think that was added later.
people done amusing
Paul Lucas had a particularly amusing accent, so I chuckled. That was terrible; I shouldn't have done that, but he took it too big. He got up and said he couldn't work with people who laughed at him!
book lovely letters
I don't know why Sinclair Lewis fell in love with me. He didn't get even the slightest response from me. But his letters were lovely. And the poems he wrote me were lovely. I used some of them in my book.
work thinking purpose
I think the studio gave me that series on purpose, because they knew perfectly well that Robert Riskin was ill and that I needed to go to work. They gave me that series to do.
thinking feel-good done
I think to have done 'Titanic' would have been a tortuous experience altogether. I feel good about where my life is, now. I feel free and joyous and happy and more liberated than I have ever been.
mother daughter play
It was so satisfying for me - a great reward, just to see it done well. And it was beautifully directed by my daughter Susan Riskin. Imagine, a play about my mother directed by my daughter?!
hollywood
There is a lot of strength and intelligence in Hollywood.
mother parent quality
It was good for us, I suppose. Those kinds of times produce qualities in us that make us better for having had them. My parents were not getting along. My mother was quite intolerant of friendships that were being developed.
attitude book simple
My next book is Scene by Scene: as Seen by Fay Wray. It'll be about different incidents. Just my feelings about quite a few people. Attitudes. My thoughts about the universe and simple things like that.
