daughter mother hurt
When it was over my daughter said, 'Oh, I felt so sorry for him - he didn't want to hurt you, he liked you.' That was Victoria. When you visualize him up there on top of the Empire State Building, you do feel sorry for him.
beautiful crush new-york
Cary Grant and I were doing a play in New York. He had a crush on me. Whenever we went to a party, he would always sit on the floor beside me. I thought that was kind of beautiful, like that's where he wanted to be.
people littles tape
I went to Washington to ask for a little residual payment for the people who had written films in the early, early days, people who never got any residuals on tapes or anything at all.
rocks tree surfing
Sometimes I worked with just a background of a rock or a tree or black velvet, and just had to imagine the whole thing.
down-and helping fingers
They were very considerate, I must say. Every time I felt I was about to slip out of these fingers and would yell for help, they'd let me down and re-organize things.
children afterlife age
My children didn't when they were little because I thought that they had to be of a certain age. I hoped they liked me well enough not to want to see me in that sort of a spot.

So I was asked to do horror film after horror film, a series of about five, after that, and some of those were a little too gruesome. I wasn't too comfortable all the time in those. I didn't really care for them.
time faces technique
That was one time when my technique absolutely deserted me, I must admit. There was a wax face that he had created himself to cover his own ugliness. I was in his clutches and I had to hit him in the face.
boys years waiting
Recently, a six-year-old boy said to me, 'I've been waiting to meet you for half my life.'
new-york looks empires
When I'm in New York I look at the Empire State Building and feel as though it belongs to me ... or is it vice versa?
writing people secret
I would say the secret is to be enthusiastic about everything that comes into your life. To care, to care about people. To be excited about everything that comes close to you. I love to read. And I love to write, mostly.
daughter directed great mother satisfying susan
It was so satisfying for me-a great reward, just to see it done well. And it was beautifully directed by my daughter Susan Riskin. Imagine, a play about my mother directed by my daughter?!
close fingers lifted pressed ups waist
The fingers were pressed around my waist and then by leverage, they lifted me up into the air, and all the close ups were done that way.
relief sweet time
It was such a sweet relief to me, because I had always worked, I had always worked, I had always worked-and it was time to do something else.
