I wanted to direct more than I wanted to act. And I found I couldn't do everything.
From Dinah Manoff
I'm an entertainer: I want to make people laugh, cry. I want to move them.
I don't understand people who want to leave a good job. To me, without being terribly judgmental, those are people who haven't gone through their stint of being out of work for long periods of time.
Once you have been hot and cold, you get real appreciative when you got a place to go every day with decent material, a paycheck to come in, and nice people to work with.
I found out my limit. I'm not a singer and a dancer.
Definitely, I have a New York personality.
I've always dated hunks.
Mother was so good that I was defeated even before I started to be an actress. I thought I could never make it unless I spent years in the Actors Studios, went on the blacklist and lived in New York, as she did.
I think that from 15 to, like, 18, I went through a very rough time. Something basically everyone goes through in those years - not knowing what you're going to do.
I happen to think, really, that I'm good at what I do.
