In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star.

I was never beautiful like Miss Hayworth or Miss Lamarr. I was known as the little brown wren. Who'd want to get me at the end of the picture?

If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.

Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.

That's why 'Star Wars' is appealing. You watch someone fight the perilous monster.
