I want to settle down this last time. I say last, because I don't think I'm in any condition to live a long time from now. The bell's gonna ring pretty soon.
I certainly was not the romantic lead. I couldn't be that, because I was not that good looking. And that is something about Hollywood that I do not like at all. Why can't a woman who is just normally good looking fall in love? I mean, everybody in the movies is so good looking.
Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.
I think the most interesting New Yorkers are the people who were not born here.
Drama drama drama. The public wants it, so let them get the whole ugly mess. Why not?
I never found anyone who could look after me as well as I could look after myself.
I get sick of saying how hard everything is. It's hard to get up in the morning. Everything's hard. Everything takes effort.
There's something exciting about being afraid.
I wouldn't have a nose job. I like my nose fine.
Bette Davis taught Hollywood to follow an actress instead of the actress following the camera, and she's probably the best movie actress there's ever been.
I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.
I compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.
I love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.
This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.
I like to keep active. I've got too much energy not to.
If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.
I always say, 'If you can't give a reason for the banana peel being in the alley, then don't have the comic slide over it.' Do you understand what I mean? First explain how the banana peel got there quickly. And then there's a reason for all the comedy.
Well if I had my choice I would not - I wouldn't mind working with Alec Baldwin, but the mother role - I'm kidding. It's terrific. I'll tell you what happened with Alec Baldwin and myself. This is a couple acting together just this side of heaven. He's one of the best actors I've ever worked with in whole life. And I - I'm not overdoing it. I just think he's about the best around today. So I got lucky.
Onstage, nothing is as important as truth, nothing. As soon as you lie, they know it.
I don't think I'm gonna die tomorrow or even two weeks from now, or even ever. I just don't know - who the hell knows what's gonna happen to them? Nobody! Isn't that comforting? Nobody has a clue. I like that we don't know. And I like that it's somebody else's decision, not mine.
It's very disconcerting to start out and to say, "I'm going to tell the truth," and then to realize it's that much trouble.
I think it's the wrong way around to say when you get older move to the country. I think when you get older you move to New York. If you're a nice broad they'll look after you.
I can't explain chemistry. I really can't. I haven't got a clue what it's all about. It just happens. It's like falling in love. You can't explain why you fall in love or explain why it's this particular person.
I love audiences. My God, the best friends in the world!
I don't know what to do with Warren Beatty. All I know is that he wasn't attracted to me. That's all right.
