actors greedy steak
I am a greedy actor in the sense that I like the big bites. Put a big fat steak in front of me, and I will eat it.
fit girls hard kinds looks row six time today trying women
Think about all these different kinds of women. Think about all the different looks we used to be able to see on the screen. Not one of these women was trying to fit a standard. But today you can put any six girls in a row and have a very hard time distinguishing them. Everybody's trying to fit a mold.
writing people texting
I don't take part in texting and those other things myself, so I don't really know if people put as much thought into messaging as they used to into writing letters.
cutting years play
Women are usually only interesting to studio executives when they are fecund, between the ages of 15 and 30. I decided to get through the really tough patch, around 50, by just cutting my price and playing ten years older. I didn't want to have to wait until I was an old lady to play one.
legs
I don't have a waist: I'm a breadbox on top of legs.
forever way actors
I was raised to be in service to something larger than myself. A lot of actors concentrate on what they will get out of the profession, rather than what they can offer it. The way I see it, if you come with something to offer, you can offer it forever.
becoming-one want very-good
I'm interested in playing old ladies because I am becoming one. And I want to become a very good one!
italian opera looks
I'm not glamorous, I don't have a look, I don't know anything about opera, I have no Italian, and I'm too old.
jobs years car
The director's job is full of all sorts of annoyances and details - like how many cars are on the street. Ugh. I don't want it. I like my gig. And I feel that for the next 30 years or so I can keep learning more about it.
good-friend sweat good-friendship
Sweat makes good friendship cement.
fighting battle shooting
A critic never fights the battle; they just go around shooting the wounded.
norm exception
I went into the family business. To me, it was the norm and not the exception.
morning sorry fog
I'm sorry I didn't wear paint this morning. I tend not to wear it unless I'm getting highly paid.
dream struggle kids
I think the 20s are a vastly overrated decade. We promise kids that once they get out of school, life will begin and their dreams will come true. But then comes the struggle.
