I think The Exorcist was the hardest work I've ever done
So many people have really wanted to die. They seem ashamed to say so. I think it would help if they would say so
I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy.
I don't think I should have been married... to anybody.
Most people call me Mercy. I like it
A rich man can afford to be generous to many.
Only a certain breed of actor should ever even try to work for Orson Welles. I'm glad I'm one of that breed.
The great people I've met always have time for the niceties.
I have reached a state in life where I can buy a whole house full of chairs and can bump into them until they are black and blue
I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker
I'd stand in line for Confession with old people and little kids, and as the line moved up, I knew when I got into the box that I would lie! Again!
With two leftover husbands to account for, my wicked soul has just about shriveled and died
I find it next to impossible to remain politely silent when people prate to me about the glory of being given another chance to live happily ever after!
Aside from my son, no person has ever shown for me the gentle concern I knew from Governor Adlai Stevenson.
