Zitat des Tages von Faye Dunaway:
So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?
I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.
You are an athlete when you're onstage. You can't get tired.
I've been working on this feature script for Master Class, a play by Terrence McNally that won a lot of Tonys.
When you're younger they always try to get you to do every ninny role that's going.
Years are not important, my dear.
I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.
I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.
Do you know what I'm working on now? My first feature as a director.
God bless McNally, it's got some fantastic stuff in it, but it's no easy task to make a movie out of.
You just sort of let them go for a while, but it was time to have something done to my teeth. I'm glad. It's going to be good. Tom Cruise has braces now, too. I'm right in style.
I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.
My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.
I'm kind of a recluse.
It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.
It's interesting as one grows older to keep in touch with the cutting edge.
