Piper Laurie

"I was so enchanted with the open possibilities and the power of being able to choose my part. Who was the child now? I decided I’d be a Japanese businessman because it would be less predictable. Even when I was alone, I was so filled with excitement and laughter at the thought of my task. This was joyful children’s play!"

"The act of writing the book was painful at times, but it was easier than talking to someone."

"It was the most fun I ever had. I would just laugh between takes. It was fun to be so mean."
