Spencer Tracy

Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture.

Acting is not an important job in the scheme of things. Plumbing is.

I'm disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It's become so much about personality.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
