I think we live in a time where people are just insane on the subject of how they look.
Ali MacGraw
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
Ali MacGraw
If you want to be watched 24 hours a day in everything you do, you can't turn that around. You can't wake up three years later and say, 'Stop bothering me, I'm a serious actor,' if all you've done is wear certain clothes and show up half-loaded at clubs.
