Julie Christie's quotes

[In the mid-'90s, on why she never got married] Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I.
[on making Shampoo (1975) with Warren Beatty and Robert Towne] We showcased an utterly immoral, grotesquely greedy, decadent society that we felt was imminent.
[on her relationship with Warren Beatty] I'm terribly dependent on him, like a baby to its mother, so we travel backwards and forward to be with each other.
[on the prospect of her directing a film] Always a foot soldier, never a general.
[on fame] All that concentrated adulation is terribly corroding.
If I don't make films, no one is going to write about me. And most people have forgotten who I am anyway. My life is not interrupted because I am more or less anonymous.
It felt, to me, like a permanent cocktail party, without the drinks. Acting took me away from real life to a pretend life. I wanted that real life back. I am not a dedicated actress, I'm afraid. I never have been.
Time has been savage in its relentless eating up of the years. Have I made the most of it? I have had an endless struggle not to be a coward about things. I know what I feel, but hate being looked at, hate doing anything in public, hate making speeches.
I am innumerate. I had great earning years, but it went through my fingers. I no longer have a career to build. So I do a few things to pay the bills. I cannot complain. I am comfortable, my God.
It is a complicated business, and we are very insecure, we actors. We all feel - and fear - we are going to be found out at any moment. Someone is going to point and say, "You are really not very good, are you?".
[observation, 1966] Being on top right now is a fluke.
I know the sorts of things that appeal to me does not appeal the way that Forrest Gump (1994) does. I really like ambiguity and I really like all sorts of complexity.
Some of my opinions are quite radical.
[how she was motivated to get a facelift at 55] People who are older than you appear to be younger. It is really undermining. You know they are older than you, yet you look like their mother.
I'd rather talk to my ducks than some of the freaks I met in Hollywood.
[regarding the plethora of reports that she and longtime boyfriend Duncan Campbell snuck off for a secret wedding in India] Nonsense. I have been married for a few years. Don't believe what you read in the papers.
I've never been terribly ambitious. Of course that's easy to say when you've achieved other people's wildest ambitions. But I've never really been a driven, dedicated actress. I prefer an easier life.
