Zitat des Tages von Marian Seldes:
I try to find humor in everything I do, because I think all great plays - even great tragedies - have enormous humor in them.
Unfortunately, there are mental invalids of every age who exist on other people's terms. It's lazy for older persons to let others make up their minds for them. People have to overcome that.
If I had a religious belief, I would want it to be as strong as my belief in the theater.
I think the first time I was ever really conscious of the difference between people's voices was that my mother's voice was so soft and gentle and her pronunciation was so perfect.
Confidence has nothing to do with what you look like. If you obsess over that, you'll end up being disappointed in yourself all the time. Instead, high self-esteem comes from how you feel in any moment. So walk into a room acting like you're in charge, and spend your energy on making the people around you happy.
I've been, for want of a better phrase, a supporting actress so much of my life.
Theatre is where I am confident and happy.
There's no trick of teaching acting. Either someone wants to do it and is gifted, or not.
Acting takes so much energy.
I almost never go to the theatre without seeing someone I've taught or known at Juilliard.
I would hate to think of the theatre world without critics. Without them, we'd not have the record of each season.
I have had a career in which, almost without exception, every single person I've worked with has helped me.
How do people who live utterly alone survive? There are so many things that won't open. I've got a few dresses in New York, and I can somehow get them on, but I can't get them off.
If you're unhappy in a relationship, I think you just don't trust yourself for getting into another one.
All I've done is live my life in the theater and loved it.
