kids parent dying
This might be the first generation where kids are dying at a younger age than their parents and it's related primarily to the obesity problem.
curly-hair want knows
Anybody who has curly hair knows you don't want it to be brushed out because it becomes a never-ending tangle.
mother hurt memories
Lorna was quite young when her mother died, and I think she's blocked out some of the memories. I talked to her a little bit about that, but I wasn't prepared to go around and poke and hurt her.
father pride gay
Judy Garland's father was gay. That seems to be the consensus. They left Minnesota and went to California because he got caught with some boy backstage.
sexy country men
It's not a country of articulate people, sophisticated people. There's too little subtlety. Men and women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still.
way honest garlands
Judy Garland was just so delicious in every way and just so honest and generous.
girl silly book
My Brilliant Career was beautifully directed, but I had a bit of trouble with myself in it. It was a silly script, based on a book this 16-year-old girl wrote.
men dramatic-situations ideas
Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.
sake add enough
I've never worked for the sake of working. There's probably enough crap out there for me not to add to it.
mind killers directors
A lot of really good directors have a killer in them, as if they'd do anything to get that image. But that comes with the terrain and I don't mind it.
vote know-me knows
Anybody who knows me knows my vote can't be bought.
government entertainment
This is government. There is no entertainment.
dream moving differences
Know that you can make a difference in the world by being true to yourself, and moving in the direction of your dreams!
thinking glowing mind
I think male roles are generally much better written. So for actresses, we're always dealing with trying to inject a role with more truth than the writer possibly had in mind.
