When I started acting almost 50 years ago, it wasn't about fame. It was about acting.

I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

As much as I appreciate acting and enjoy it, and like it, it wasn't something where I grew up wanting to be a movie star.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.

Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.

I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me.
