Marian Seldes

I have had a career in which, almost without exception, every single person I've worked with has helped me.

I almost never go to the theatre without seeing someone I've taught or known at Juilliard.

I'm not a good tourist. I don't like walking around and looking at things. I like being in a city and working and finding out how other people live.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.
