“I'm a risk-taker. I like to test myself.” — Joanne Woodward

I'd love to run for office, but it requires such knowledge.

I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.

Actors and writers need to come back to the theater because it's a place where you can learn. You have to pay your dues, and people who haven't paid their dues in the theater, I think, have a hard time creating a whole career.

I remember when I first won the Academy Award and how much I loved it. I just wish there was an award around that you could really believe in again.
