I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren't remembered for anything. I don't mind that.

You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.

It's so easy to become obsessed with the film industry and recognition that we can forget that we are not saving the world. We are just actors trying to entertain people.

People say you never remember anybody who dies in movies, and it's true, you don't. You don't even remember people who disappear.

I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.

Hollywood is great for entertaining people, it's a wonderful business but it's make-believe, you must remember that. That's one of the most important things to remember and the distinction in your own life, otherwise people get lost in their own fame, and it makes them unhappy.

As an actress, I think it's important to look back and realize that we aren't always quite as original as we think we are. There's this grand, textured history for us over the last 100 years of incredible writers, directors, and performers.

I just think the less you know about an actor, the more serious you'll take them as an actor because they will disappear a little bit.
