Candice Bergen's quotes

[on Burt Reynolds]: I have always said Burt's sensitivity and generosity were in great measure responsible for my Academy Award nomination for Starting Over (1979).
...Hollywood has been vulgarized, mostly by television, which vulgarizes everything.
I may not be the greatest actress but I've become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little.
On her less-than voluptuous figure: I'd LIKE to have boobs.
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.
[on Elliott Gould] He was the first person to teach me to enjoy acting. He never throws a tantrum, never gets into a snit.
There are moments when I perceive us as being on the brink of another dark age, a media blitzkrieg of mindlessness.
It takes a long time to grow up. Longer than they tell you.
Living in L.A. is not like having a date on Saturday night.
[on doing love scenes] Suddenly, you wind up in bed with a guy on top of you that you wouldn't want to share a cab with.
Acting has never done anything for me except encourage my vanity and provoke my arrogance.
[observation, 2015] Let me just come right out and say it. I am fat. I live to eat. None of this 'eatin' to live' stuff for me. No carb is safe - no fat either. I crave cookies - all the thing that dilate my pupils.
It's very hard to have a marriage, a child and a career. I believe in putting the child first, quite frankly. That may be a politically incorrect thing to say, but that's how I feel about it.
