Stupidity is not my favourite thing; I cannot deal with it.
A famous love story is hard to maintain when you both live in the spotlight.
I'm a big fan of Daniel Day-Lewis. He's a marvelous actor. He stands alone, I think.
All the Warner actors were real actors. They started in theater and led very straightforward lives - you never saw entourages around. The MGM girls were the glamour girls, and they always had the makeup and hair people with them and all that.
I used to dream of being other places, other people. It was an escape for me.
I studied dancing for 13 years. And loved to dance. Always wanted to dance with Fred Astaire.
I never believed marriage was a lasting institution. I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.
I love being Jewish; I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don't look it.
I happen to watch public television more than anything else. I'm also a news junkie, so I watch a lot of CNN.
For my peculiar face, I look best when I look as though I'm not wearing make-up.
That was my original dream, anyway, to be on stage. I think the stage is an actor's place because actors, it belongs to you.
In actual fact, I've never been one, even from childhood, to kind of analyze myself very much.
My feeling about the movies is that most of them are terrible. If you don't have a decent script and a decent director, forget it.
It's just a fact of life that I don't think I've ever been taken particularly seriously in movies by movie makers. I don't know why.
