It was just such a demeaning thing to do, being in silent movies. They'd call you up and tell you, 'Hey, jump off this building!' and they'd give you a hundred bucks, and you'd do it.

There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.

I thought I'd have a career playing women in the vein of Ruth Gordon, and we've seen that type almost disappear.

There are so few stories being produced that are human. I suffer with the loss of that. I feel kind of out of place, even though I've continued to work.
