Faye Dunaway

Do you know what I'm working on now? My first feature as a director.
Faye Dunaway

God bless McNally, it's got some fantastic stuff in it, but it's no easy task to make a movie out of.
Faye Dunaway

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.
Faye Dunaway

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.
Faye Dunaway

I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.
Faye Dunaway

I'm kind of a recluse.
Faye Dunaway

I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.
Faye Dunaway

I've been working on this feature script for Master Class, a play by Terrence McNally that won a lot of Tonys.
Faye Dunaway

It's interesting as one grows older to keep in touch with the cutting edge.
Faye Dunaway

It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.
Faye Dunaway

My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.
Faye Dunaway

Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.
Faye Dunaway

So Liam and movies are obviously big passions, and I read and write.
Faye Dunaway

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?
Faye Dunaway

Well, softness and femininity like yours people don't expect of me; so when they find me emotional and capable of real vulnerability, they're surprised.
Faye Dunaway

When you're younger they always try to get you to do every ninny role that's going.
Faye Dunaway

Years are not important, my dear.
Faye Dunaway

You are an athlete when you're onstage. You can't get tired.
Faye Dunaway

You just sort of let them go for a while, but it was time to have something done to my teeth. I'm glad. It's going to be good. Tom Cruise has braces now, too. I'm right in style.
