Zitat des Tages von Ali MacGraw:
I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.
I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.
I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.
I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And I travel a tremendous amount. I'm in New York and California a lot, but then also I like faraway places a lot.
Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.
I had no real experience studying acting; I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
It's been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am.
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.
It's not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it's how I want to be in 15 years.
You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
