It's exciting for a character in the movie to say he knows all the best places to eat and this is a good one,

I loved the examination of old money in Pasadena (California) and I loved that this woman (Jennifer Aniston's character) from a background that was sculpted in Pasadena has been in New York she is about to get married she comes back looks at what she came from and is so appalled and astonished and I am the grandmother who is the only one she can talk to and the only one in Pasadena who is basically talking the truth.

It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.

Yeah, I turned down 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.' Can you believe it? With 'Alice,' I thought, 'Martin Scorsese. I wonder if he knows what he's doing?' Oh, man, what a mistake! Ellen Burstyn won an Oscar for that role.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
