Eileen Heckart's quotes
- "I don't like sitcoms, it's instant acting; it has nothing to do with talent. They shoot everything close-up. ... It's very boring. You do television to make money so you can afford to act in the theater." (on her opinion about working on sitcoms)
- Now who can afford (theater)? And people don't want to think... You never used to hear them talk during a performance. Now they talk.
- [upon entering the auditorium as a nominee on Oscar night] I just hope they pan the camera on me once. I paid a lot of money for this dress, and I want my mother in Columbus, Ohio to be able to see it.
