At awards time, The Exorcist was nominated in 11 categories, everybody but the janitor was up for an Oscar. There was no category for what I did.

It is a remarkably beautiful piece of home furnishing, the Oscar. I used to keep it up in front of a mirror so that it looked like two.

I'd stand in line for Confession with old people and little kids, and as the line moved up, I knew when I got into the box that I would lie! Again!

If I have to climb to heaven on a ladder, I shall decline the invitation.

A mean, tipsy, powerful, rotten-egg lady.

I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.
