More quotes by Kathleen Turner

I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there's a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.
Kathleen Turner
I don't think I'm anything like the improviser. I'm not. I do better with at least an outline.
Kathleen Turner
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't

Kathleen Turner
Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well
Kathleen Turner
As I traveled from one country to another, no one knew anything about me. So I could be anybody, I could speak as I wished, act as I wished, dress as I wished
Kathleen Turner
