Whereupon, at the tender age of thirteen, I set upon the path of playing nothing but hookers.
From Ida Lupino
Come hell or high water, adopted or my own. I am going to have, I must have some kids.
I cannot tolerate fools - won't have anything to do with them. I only want to associate with brilliant people.
I never wrote just straight women's roles. I liked the strong characters. I don't mean women who have masculine qualities about them, but something that has some intestinal fortitude, some guts to it.
I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.
I'd rather work all night and sleep all day... perhaps I was a mole in my last incarnation.
I'm mad, they say. I am temperamental and dizzy and disagreeable. Well, let them talk. I can take it. Only one person can hurt me. Her name is Ida Lupino.
That's one of the things I resent the most violently. To have to take your own life and give it away to the public, in pieces.
You cannot play naive if you're not.
