My goal for Actress is to have it play more traditional theaters.
I hate these actresses-pretending-to-be-lesbians movies. To me, that's just as prurient as a bad violent movie.
Marilyn Monroe gave more to the still camera than any actress, any woman I've ever photographed; infinitely more patient, more demanding of herself and more comfortable in front of the camera than away from it.
I was always, as a younger actress, very conscious of not wanting to act sexy. I didn't see myself like that. But I think as a woman, you get older, you feel more confident in your sexuality. You're not as intimidated by it, not as embarrassed by it.
I never had any desire to become a well-known actress.
Vivien Leigh was a phenomenal actress, a very complicated woman, living on the edge of mental problems, haunted by demons and angels. And though I've never thought of myself like Marilyn Monroe, I was inspired by the tremendous risk she took - of being vulnerable.
My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.
As an actress, you get to basically be your character.
As an actress, it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.
There are some actresses who cannot function on the set without having a close relationship with their directors. Their way of communicating with the director is through intimacy. It doesn't necessarily have to do with any physical act; it has more to do with achieving a closeness that they find very valuable.
The relationship between an actress and her director is often a very close one.
I'm the Magoo of actresses, very accident-prone.
In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.
I am only an actress when they say, 'action' and I stop being an actress when they say, 'cut'. I am a normal person outside of acting.
I felt, this is what I want to be in my life. I want to be an actress.
If you're an actress and even one person knows your name, you're lucky.
I began dancing when I was just 5, and I never really wanted to become an actress because its what every other model does.
I’m an actress, a brand, a businesswoman. I’m all kinds of stuff.
I'm just going to try to do the best work at whatever I'm going to be, and I don't think I'm going to be an actress.
I don't want to be an actress, because I think that they have to be really pretty, and I'm not.
I tell actresses, "If you're too tall, if you're too fat, you're not going to work. I don't care how talented you are." It's a business, and sex sells.
I'm not a comedienne. I'm an actress.
In human years I am 29. In actress years I'm the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That's how it works here in Hollyweird.
But I would say maybe just from an actress's perspective, probably 'Woman Under the Influence' is the best movie of all time... The style of filmmaking and the performances ... you don't feel like you're watching a film.
Basically, I'm living the life of an actress in L.A. And I've recently had some pretty good fortune.
