My friends, when I was young, were always older than I was, and I've always liked them. And I love old men and old ladies, really.

They know what they're talking about.

My husband, who's the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets-he did this in Richard the Third-there's nothing he can't do, nothing. Just nothing.

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.

You know the passage where Scarlett voices her happiness that her mother is dead, so that she can't see what a bad girl Scarlett has become? Well, that's me.
