I Wanna Be Loved By You, Just

I Used To Get The Feeling, And Sometimes I Still Get It, That I Was Fooling Somebody - I Don't Know Who Or What - Maybe Myself. I Have Feelings Some Days Where There Are Scenes With A Lot Of Responsibility, And I'll Wish, 'gee, If Only I Had Been A Cleaning Woman.'

I Had To Use My Wits Or Else I'd Have Been Sunk - And Nothings Going To Sink Me. Everyone Was Always Pulling At Me, Tugging At Me, As If They Wanted A Piece Of Me. It Was Always, 'do This, Do That,' And Not Just On The Job But Off, Too. God, I've Tried To Stay Intact, Whole.

I Once Wanted To Prove Myself By Being A Great Actress. Now I Want To Prove That I'm A Person. Then Maybe I'll Be A Great Actress.

I'm Looking Forward To Becoming A Marvelous - Excuse The Word Marvelous - Character Actress. Like Marie Dressler, Like Will Rogers.

Acting Became Important. It Became An Art That Belonged To The Actor, Not To The Director Or Producer, Or The Man Whose Money Had Bought The Studio. It Was An Art That Transformed You Into Somebody Else, That Increased Your Life And Mind. I Had Always Loved Acting And Tried Hard To Learn It. But With Michael Chekhov, Acting Became More Than A Profession To Me. It Became A Sort Of Religion.
