Zitat des Tages von Geraldine Page:
I always say it's worth doing what you want to do, not letting people manipulate you. It's worth holding out. It's worth having pride.
'Greedy gut' is my middle name. I love food, and I love parts.
I didn't want to be a Hollywood actress who every so often does a Broadway play. I wanted to be a Broadway actress who every so often does a movie.
I have played old ladies since I was 17 years old, and very convincingly. I've always looked funny and was too tall to play the leads and so had to play the grandmothers.
I love the Oscars. All sorts of tacky people win. And watching everyone run up and down those aisles is just adorable.
A lot of people say I always play neurotic women. Well, who doesn't play neurotic women?
They did cast me as an ingenue once, and the novelty was nice. But I said, 'There is nothing here to play!' I really like getting into the meat of a role.
I always wanted to be good at something, to be somebody. The minute I got into my first play, which was called 'Excuse My Dust' - I was 17 at the time - I knew that this was what I'd been looking for.
