gave great maintain met
He didn't maintain my illusion of myself, he gave me an illusion of myself. Before I met him, I never thought of myself as an actress. Boy, he sidetracked me in a great way!
coming happened since
Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst.
quieter took until
They weren't interested in entertainment. They were tough. I learned one trick, which was to be quieter than they were until they had to look at you. It took a lot of agressiveness.
expression people acting
Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.
yesterday done next
I was bargaining for time away from Hollywood, and Columbia was bargaining for money. I got what I wanted and they got what they wanted. They knew I was so anxious to do Born Yesterday that I'd have done it for a dollar. They gave me the next best thing.
acting care firsts
It's tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That's the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting.
clubs prestige owners
We gained a great deal of prestige, but not much money. We liked to work so much we couldn't hide it and the club owners paid us accordingly.
trying dozen six
I am not an 'instant' actor... to really do anything, I've got to try it five or six or a dozen times.
ideas actresses cry
I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.
writing here-i-am acting
I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am.
hate important painful
I thought I was learning about show business. The more painful it was, the more important I thought the experience must be. Hating it, I convinced myself it must be invaluable.
voice hair use
I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate.
legs losing born
I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.
hard-times people dresses
People have a hard time making me dress up to look like a classy gal.
