“Acting is a way of living out one's life, of being a bigger person than you are.”

“The theater is a great equalizer. It's the only place where you can be a king or a queen, a hero or a villain.”

“I think the stage is where I am most comfortable. It's my home.”

“I don't think you can be a great actor unless you have a great deal of humanity.”

“God comes to us in the things we know best. It's not every day that you're going to get a burning bush.”

“I don't think I'm a star. I'm just an actress.”

“The theater is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.”

“I'm a religious person. I'm a Catholic. I'm a lapsed Catholic.”

“I think the most important thing for an actor is to have a sense of humor.”

“I'm not terribly happy about my face, but I'm not going to do anything about it.”

“I've been very lucky. I've had a wonderful life.”

“The theater has been my church. It's been my school. It's been my life.”
