Marsha Mason quotes about
emotional play complexity
The complexity of the emotional life of the play is what you live to work on.
attractive became cried depressed easily frightened half insecure life second talented
I thought I wasn't attractive or talented anymore. I cried easily and was depressed and removed. I became emotionally insecure about what the second half of my life would bring. I was angry, scared, frightened and lonely.
good love sort
It's enormously good fun. I love it. I really do. I have this sort of set face.
love
I always hated the part when I had to look pretty. I love that I don't have to look pretty.
regret successful opportunity
Neil [Simon] was considered our greatest [living playwright] at the time [of their marriage]. Maybe he still is; I don't know. But anyway, he was hugely successful, and I just kind of got folded into that. And in some ways, he protected me, but in other ways, I wasn't fully able to step out, you know? He didn't want me to go away so much. The work that we did together was great, and I don't regret it, but what I am saying is that I didn't get an opportunity to explore some other areas that were offered to me early on. I took what I might call a U-turn.
peculiar
The idea of being a single woman in Hollywood is a very peculiar thing.
