Marsha Mason quotes about
peculiar
The idea of being a single woman in Hollywood is a very peculiar thing.
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.
emotional play complexity
The complexity of the emotional life of the play is what you live to work on.
