I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

The constant attention is what is so difficult.

I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.

I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.

I didn't know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

I've been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I'm forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I'm just going to have to grow old, because I'm too terrified to have anything done.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

The times that I have done something that I didn't respond to emotionally right away, it's generally not worked out too well.

I was so overprotected, I used to think I was as delicate as people said I was.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

Warren and I are friends, but working with him had been difficult.

Not even analysis, by itself, can transform you. You must still do the changing yourself.

I couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

I thought it was a wonderful line - right on the cutting room floor.

I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.

When I get married it will be for keeps.

We all wanted to copy Vivien Leigh.

If I didn't believe in what I'm doing, I'd rather go to work in a dime store.

The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

We were descended from royalty.

I didn't like children. I didn't think of myself as a child. I didn't like any of the things other children were interested in.

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm... and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it's part of growing up.

A lot changed when I had Natasha. I'm a survivor.

At night when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

My best film composing experience was with Elia Kazan.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

'Batman' took 10 months to film, and by the time I stopped working on it, it took a long time before my English accent came out again. I was actually having to try for it.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

I still feel that a movie has to attempt to say something - even if it fails miserably. But I've sort of given up on believing that I'm going to change the world with every film I choose to act in.

It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.

I mean when the play was on in New York I was starting to get film offers coming through, and since the film's come out I get offered more than I used to, but it happens incrementally.

I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.

I like doing them and they're ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they don't have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. They're really fun, I want to make more of them definitely.

One of the most interesting aspects of the film project was collaborating with so many people - directors, filmmakers, and writers - over a five-year period. I learned that there are two components to this.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

If he didn't fall in love he would have never come back near the end of the film. Because, what man is going to dishonor himself so that he comes back in front of the man that took a woman away from him... and warns her to save her life?

Robert Altman's Nashville is my all-time favorite film because it covers all the bases - it's original, moving, and has something to say, but also funny and incredibly entertaining.

I never see a novel as a film while I'm writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I'm such an internal novelist.
