"Mary Beth Hurt was an actress, a wife, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a friend, and she took on all those roles with grace and kind ferocity."
"I worked selectively, as Fifty per cent of the roles I'm offered in films are nothing. I don't mean size-wise. There's nothing of any interest in them."
"I've never been extremely comfortable playing the lead. I don't like the responsibility; there's a feeling that I have to be good."
"I found secondary parts much more interesting, especially when I was younger and the ingenue roles were pretty bland."
