Anne Bancroft's quotes

I was at a point where I was ready to say, "I am what I am because of what I am and if you like me I'm grateful, and if you don't, what am I going to do about it?"
Life is here only to be lived so that we can, through life, earn the right to death, which to me is paradise. Whatever it is that will bring me the reward of paradise, I'll do the best I can.
The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they're too old to do it.
When [Mel Brooks] told his Jewish mother he was marrying an Italian girl, she said: "Bring her over. I'll be in the kitchen - with my head in the oven".
[on John Ford] Marvelous but loony, tearing out pages of the script everywhere.
[1962] When I arrived in town, the movie industry was looking for sexpot glamor girls. I didn't qualify. Nor was I ever offered a top-flight movie. But there isn't any bitterness on my part. I wasn't as good an actress then as I am now.
[on being married to Mel Brooks] When he comes home at night and I hear his key in the lock, I say to myself, "Oh good! The party's about to begin".
I can sit with anybody in a room for an hour, and by the time they leave, automatically I will know the way they talk and the way they move. That's my special art.
When I was in radio, I was Anna St. Raymond; when I was in television, I was Anne Marno; and then in movies I was Anne Bancroft -- if I ever go into burlesque, I've got one picked out: Ruby Pepper.
[on her days as a contract player at Fox] I was seduced by every script. I thought every picture was the best, and that I was Greta Garbo. It was the ability to accept these terrible lies that kept me going.
[about her first husband] That marriage lasted three years, but to tell you the truth, I knew at the end of three days. It was all wrong and it took me those three years to gather up the courage and stop trying and say no.
