Zitat des Tages von Ida Lupino:
I had no desire to crash a man's world.
I cannot tolerate fools - won't have anything to do with them. I only want to associate with brilliant people.
Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation.
I knew it would break his heart if I didn't go into the business.
I never wrote just straight women's roles. I liked the strong characters. I don't mean women who have masculine qualities about them, but something that has some intestinal fortitude, some guts to it.
I didn't see myself as any advance guard, or feminist.
Whereupon, at the tender age of thirteen, I set upon the path of playing nothing but hookers.
Keeping a feminine approach is vital - men hate bossy females.
Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminine.
I'm mad, they say. I am temperamental and dizzy and disagreeable. Well, let them talk. I can take it. Only one person can hurt me. Her name is Ida Lupino.
Today it's almost impossible to do it unless you are an actress or writer with power... I wouldn't hesitate right this minute to hire a talented woman if the subject matter were right.
You cannot play naive if you're not.
I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.
