acting feminism way
I knew that my newfound activism and feminism was going to improve my acting, because I was seeing things not just in very narrow, individual, kind of Freudian terms, but seeing them in a much broader, societal way that was going to deepen and enrich my talent.
soul musical acting
What's totally terrifying is that, unlike a musician who has a musical instrument, or a painter that's got a canvas and a brush, acting is us. Our energy, our soul, our spirits. And it's so hard because it's so vulnerable. You're exposing everything.
people trying acting
You spend all your life trying to do something they put people in asylums for.
love
I love mistakes because it's the only way you learn.
I knew that I had to write my memoirs.
perfect supporting
I like being a supporting actress. I don't have to show up everyday. I was still writing the book, so it was the perfect thing. It may never be so perfect again,
life people trying
I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.
majority school
We need to get a majority on the school board,
available lead needed
Contraception is important. Making contraception available doesn't lead to promiscuity. But much more is needed than just contraception.
along came chance character funny gave outrageous quite script
The script came along and it was funny and it gave me the chance to play an outrageous character and I've never done anything before quite like her,
age lots people physically throw towel
The most important thing to do as you age is to stay physically active. Lots of people just throw in the towel if they can't do what they used to do, and that's terrible.
love possible
Real love and intimacy can be much more possible when you're older.
narrow
promulgate their right wing, narrow world view. It really doesn't have anything to do with me and it's kind of sick.
given
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
