With plastic surgery, the general anesthetic is like a black-velvety sleep, and that's what death is - without waking up to someone clapping and going, 'Joan, wake up, it's all over and you're looking pretty'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Anesthesia is quite remarkable. It's lost time. And you wake up kind of refreshed.
Today I would say, 'I am against plastic surgery.' It's a grave act. An act that touches our soul. It was frightening.
I prefer insomnia to anaesthesia.
Death's not one of those things that frighten the life out of me. Getting up on stage with the curtain going up frightens me more.
When I got out of the hospital, it was one of those classic things - you're looking death in the eye, and it changes you. I thought, I ought to go back on the road.
Plastic surgery is a postmodern veil.
The doctors must tell you that one of the risks of surgery is that you might die. This poor doctor was talking to an actress. It was very dramatic to me. To him, it was just a thing he had to say.
I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery - partly because I don't want to look like an alien and partly because it's nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful.
I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot.
Plastic surgery is like a big elephant sitting in the Hollywood living room.
