Julie Harris's quotes

[About her friendship with James Dean in 1991]: I wasn't attracted to him, I loved Jimmy's spirit, but I didn't want to 'make' him. We were comrades.
If Sally Bowles had ever been Liza Minnelli, she would have set Berlin on its ear.
[on her professional friendship with Ruby Dee]: Ruby just lost her husband, well, it's a mystery of life. But Ruby is just so beautiful. She's just wonderful. We had a good time doing the movie.
[on the list of awards she has won over the years]: It's wonderful. I have worked on that stage a lot of times, on that wonderful stage in the Kennedy theater there.
[About living in a hotel]: It's very pleasant, there is no housework. I remain unmarried, although I don't always live alone.
I always thought it would be wonderful to wake up in the morning and look like Brigitte Bardot.
[In 1976 when she remembered the Emily Dickinson poetry]: Seventeen years ago I did a recording of her poetry, and then I started to read.
[on the death of Marlon Brando]: He didn't love acting, but his gift was so great he couldn't defile it.
[on her Nanny character]: I cry all the time, and laugh, too.
[In 1981]: I think life is translated. We're always in a state of change. Acting is more translated than a lot of things. Theater is about what we are. We need it to express ourselves.
Pictures make me look like a twelve-year-old boy who flunked his body-building course.
Acting is always an adventure, and a struggle, and a quest to find the truth...It's wanting to do it right, that's where the fear comes in, but who can say what's right? We're very delicate creatures, aren't we?
I love biographies. I get very excited by the truth that comes out of what people have left behind, like letters. I first fell in love with Emily Dickinson when I read her letters. It's like listening to someone's heart.
If I had a bosom I could rule the world.
