An actress must never lose her ego - without it she has no talent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.
It's fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you've got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman's beauty secret: joy in living.
No amount of skill on the part of the actress can make up for the loss of youth.
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
You have people who can't act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She's made a career out of it.
A woman is like an actress: she's always onstage.
I have no self-centeredness or ego about being a movie star.
I have to tell you, you can't have an ego when you're an actor. A lot of actors have them, but in reality most of those people are just sensitive artists dying for a hug and a compliment.
Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.
