This actress named Lisa Eilbacher. I was up for the part in Shampoo and friends of mine kept telling me she was going around saying all these bad things about me. It's like we're still in the sixth grade sometimes.
Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies.
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
Sometimes I'll watch an old movie on television and, once in a while, one of mine, such as April Showers, will come on and I'll watch it. And you know something? I'm always amazed at what a lousy actress I was. I guess in the old days we just got by on glamour.
My job as an actress is to make things work and come up with reasons of my own and not just fill in the blanks for anybody else, you know what I mean?
I'm such a fan of Shailene Woodley, so I'm super excited to see all her stuff. She's an awesome actress.

I had a happier experience of the city as an actress than I had had as a model.
I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.
The advent of digitally enhancing images - and the fact that actresses weren't protesting against that - created an environment where big corporations felt like they had total ownership over the bodies of actresses.
I love Joan Collins. She's a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She's such a good actress.
Anne Baxter was a very good actress, Donna Reid was great. You couldn't name an actress I wasn't crazy about.
Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep.
And I'm not an actress. I don't think I am an actress. I think I've created a brand and a business.

Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.
