"I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is. The first film that I was ever in was in 1915, and here we are, and it’s 1969. Actually, I don’t know why it took me so long, though I don’t think, you know, that I’m backward. Anyway, thank you Bill, thank you Bob, thank you Roman and thank you Mia, and thank all of you who voted for me."

"Work on yourself. Believe in yourself. Show up! Support others! The bounty of the world will open up for you."

"The biggest limitations are the ones we place on ourselves, and opportunities rise up to meet the unique offerings of people."

"Kanin, Ruth's husband describe her role as an actress in 1837."

"Yet I'm now seeing Patrick as an adult and an actor onstage. He's a damn good actor. It's wonderful to see how he works."

"Shirley truly cares about her grandchildren, children, trees, the UPS man and me — in that order."

"Shirley's husband, Marty Ingels talk about the actress."

"I read. But to be very honest, I don't have time for hobbies. I've been working like crazy. I just came back from a signing. You take everything you have, records...pictures... movies... CD's and you have a booth where you sign them for the public."

"Ruth exulted in life, Her blazing professionalism and generosity of spirit made it obvious to me that we had in our midst one of the greatest of them all."

"Her warmth and humanity shone like the first patch of sun on a dark and wintry day, The world will be a colder place without her enthusiastic, elegant and adorable countenance."

"For me, the biggest achievement would be that I did the best audition that I could do, that I got the role that I really wanted, and that I'm self-supporting through my own contributions."

"That means that my hands stopped working. It means that I can't tie my shoes. I have to re-learn to write. And I definitely need surgery on my left knee and my neck coming up in the next week."

"I was loved, I was cared for. That's it, that's what one wants, isn't it, in a marriage? I've never met anyone who even comes close to my ex-husband."

"There are people will say, I had it coming or it was probably my fault. Or I deserved it -that’s what America has come to you now. Let’s lead with love and kindness and empathy Towards one another."

"How would I feel if my father were to, say, get sick or die even? Would I be OK? And I realized that I wouldn't be OK. So I knew I needed to make an effort, because what is your life without your family? What's your life without a father?"

"I am very disappointed in Tatum's statements. I had hoped that, after all these years, she would see things more accurately, and that she would share my concern for the welfare of our children."

"I experimented with women a lot during that time, but that was when I was in my drug phase, so I don't really count it. I wasn't clean, so I wasn't really clear on what I was doing or what I wanted."

"Rightly so. I had just been arrested for trying to buy crack cocaine on a street corner."

"I think so. I was just in a better place. Any time anyone dredges up all that trauma, all those memories, it's difficult to cope unless you have a strong grounding and you're well."

"If you're sad inside and you don't feel loved or wanted on planet earth, once you take something that calms those feelings, it's like Oh boy, this is what it feels like to be made to feel good inside."

"I'll never have a normal life. But I'll have a great career and I will move people, because for my 38 years, I've packed quite a lot in."

"For years I could hardly look people in the eye, Now that I've burned away the painful debris of my life, I feel courageous and open."

"It is what it is. It was a book and it told a story that was sad, and deep, and painful. This book is telling a different story. It’s telling of how I can live the best life that I can when I wasn’t really wanted, in a way. Maybe I was wanted by a fan base because of my work, but I didn’t feel that I was ultimately wanted by my own parents, which was a weird feeling."

"He told me he’s sorry, He’s all I have in terms of family, and I needed him in my life. My dad was absolutely everything to me."

"Tatum recently went back to rehab last month, and she is at a facility in Orange County."

"I didn't appreciate it at the time, When you're young, you're stupid. If someone had said to me, Will you play Saint Joan"l with six rehearsals? and then halfway across the Atlantic came the cable, Would I play Pygmalion as well?, I mean I'd have a sort of nervous collapse now. Then, I didn't."

"In one sense, Wendy was a kind of anti-star: one husband, one house (in Beaconsfield), one family. Although she did occasionally travel to Hollywood (notably in 1958 for Separate Tables) and Broadway (where her greatest success was in The Aspern Papers in 1962), she lived a relatively domestic life."

"Oh, I think a little posterity must always be nice, After I'm dead I'll probably be a cult and they'll have entire seasons of me at the National Film Theatre. Thank God I won't have to watch them all."

"I sometimes think to myself, in the middle of doing G.B.S., What on Earth am I doing? It's not like acting another writer's words."

"I just thought I’d always wanted to show off; quite honestly, acting is showing off."

"Thinking back, I don't know how I had the courage. That's one of the unkindest things nature does; it takes away your courage."

"She was never afraid of over-acting when she felt instinctively that the role required her to do so and, as Princess Charlotte, she was in turn so fierce and so gentle that, on some evenings, after she had died in the second act it seemed a waste of time continuing with the play."

"Now, she's one of the great ladies I know. She went through a lot of heartache and stuff but she's got her own life now. She lives in Palm Springs and we go to see her all the time."

"This photo of Wendy Hiller and me with the palace of Versailles fountains in the background was taken in 1981 on the set of Miss Morison's Ghosts. It means a lot to me because not only was it a lovely experience, but it was also the start of a great friendship that lasted 22 years."

"And Renee's taught me a lot of that too. She's a very connected person. She thinks having a good time is renting a U-Haul and taking furniture to Texas. She's real in that way and I absolutely love it."

"As the protagonist, I became louder and louder each time we re-shot it until I decided to cut right back for the final take. She said, "I knew you’d get it." She understood in the nicest possible way that if I was worth my bread and butter, I would realise shouting wasn’t the way forward."

"He was very good-looking. I thought he was charming. It was sort of a chemical attraction or physical attraction, a love at first sight kind of thing."

"I was afraid that if I went to Hollywood, I might be faced with the danger of being built up into a player who always features in the same kind of roles."

"I know that great things happen when this team gets together, and I was optimistic about doing a very entertaining film."

"Not that it's anyone's business, but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes."

"You cannot be a good storyteller if you don’t have life experiences, and you can’t relate to people."

"I put on a few pounds. I also put on some breasts and a baby bump. Bridget is a perfectly normal weight and I’ve never understood why it matters so much."

"I had a lot of promises that I made to myself, years ago, about things that I wanted to learn and try."

"My imperfections always surface at the most inopportune time. Usually on live TV, in an interview situation, and always on a red carpet. There’s always something happening, but that’s life. You just have to move forward."

"Celebrity is a different job than what I’m interested in. I like the collaborative, creative experience. It’s a blue-collar job, you know? Getting together with a group of people where we’re all solving problems together, and everybody does their thing. They’re all at the top of their game, and everyone is giving it their all."

"Due to her ambassadorial role for Swansea and her services to film and charity, it is particularly fitting that we are offering Catherine the highest honour we can confer in the 50th year of Swansea's status as a city."

"The joy of my marriage with Catherine and having our children at a point in my life where my career hadn't developed, allowed me much more time to enjoy my family."

"We have always been hugely proud of Catherine's achievements over the years."

"Got under my skin because I knew she would be so fantastic to play. I mean, morally, everything this woman did and stood for is so the polar opposite of what I believe in and who I am. And of course, this wouldn't necessarily have my name written all over it...and that's what made it so amazing."

"She has been as good as her word. Dad and I have had our ups and downs over the years but Catherine is someone who has cemented the family together."
