More quotes by Margot Kidder
I don't buy into any of that hogwash. They put that out to sell tickets. It's just a classic horror movie, with the Greek drama formula of good versus evil, and lots of fear.
Margot Kidder
I was reading all these books, including the Bible - and I'm an atheist.
Margot Kidder
I still get stopped by those freaky fundamentalists going Oh, I'm so glad you did Tribulation. And I wanna go, Don't count me into your group, honeybuns. I'm not one of you.
Margot Kidder
Nothing spooky or terrible happened on set, but we were told to say it had. We were giving a press conference and the writers were going on about these terrible things that supposedly happened while we were filming.
Margot Kidder
My pro-choice activism keeps me busy.
Margot Kidder
Being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst.

Margot Kidder
You take the cards you're dealt. I'm now ferociously healthy in body and mind. You couldn't pay me to go near a psychiatrist again. Stopping seeing them was my first step to getting well

Margot Kidder

Margot Kidder
When you finally end something like Superman and then find yourself world-famous, it's pretty weird, lemme tell ya. Fame is weird, is what it really is. It's the weirdest thing in the world.
Margot Kidder
I'm a grandmother with dogs and nice friends here in the Rocky mountains. Ever see the movie A River Runs Through It? That's where I live. It's beautiful, no two ways about it.
Margot Kidder
The thing about being famous is, it's weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people.
Margot Kidder
I was briefly bitter.
Margot Kidder
It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.
Margot Kidder
I'm not going back to acting class, although I've thought of it. The classic training that people get usually when they start out, I never had, and I always felt and still feel the lack of it, so there's a lot of basic stuff that I just don't have a clue about.
Margot Kidder
I'm a very good screamer, that's for sure.
Margot Kidder
The thing about the wacky fans is that they're really sweet.
Margot Kidder
Theres this unspoken club where you say to each other: Oh God, if they only knew how ordinary I was, they wouldnt be interested. That includes movie stars and politicians.
