Zitat des Tages von Piper Laurie:
And even then when you take it, you've got to take it with your whole heart.
One thing is certain. The old Piper Laurie is no more.
I dropped the script in the fireplace, called my agent and said, they can jail me, sue me, but I'm never acting again, unless I can do something worthwhile.
Back then, everyone was Lana and Rock. No one had ethnic names.
It took a long time, but I have learned that you just can't take anything you want out of life without putting something back in exchange.
I've always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew.
I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.
I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid.
The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.
And if real life was like the movies, I should have lived happily ever after.
