Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?
I got sent to a health camp when I was about 6 years old, and we all had to wear the same starchy blue uniform. The lady who took care of me after school knit me a burgundy sweater. It was the only thing that gave me any individuality.
There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.
I'll see a celadon green room in an 18th century New Hampshire house and just fall in love. Colors stay in my head.
I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.
Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.
I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.
I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.
