[on Steve McQueen] One thing about Steve, he didn’t like the women in his life to have balls.

[on the surprise success of Love Story (1970), her second starring role] If you’re a baby about the media, as I was, you can’t imagine what it’s like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut. I’ve since learned that surviving stardom depends on doing the work to find out who you are so that you don’t define yourself by what people say about you. But nothing can prepare you for that kind of avalanche. The mistake is to take it for the end of the story.
