Katy Jurado's quotes

• [on High Noon (1952)] I am very proud to make this picture because I look and act like a Mexican--not imitation. Some Mexicans go to Hollywood and lose career in Mexico, because they play imitation. I don't want this to happen to me.
• But I am not afraid to play mothers. Some of these little girls are afraid to admit they are getting older. I am not afraid. You can't put your finger in the sun and stop time.
• I was born with a terrible temper, but this is the way of expressing myself. I flare up, but it goes quickly and I don't remember it long.
• Women can have a career, but the real career is to be a woman. It's beautiful to be a woman and give birth.
• [1970] All my life I worked for my children; now they're grown and I can live for Katy.
• [1970] American women today want too much liberty, that's why they're unhappy. Because when an American man meets a woman he treats her like a pal instead of a woman.
• [1952] When I was in school, people would call me "Dorothy Lamour." . . . But I would get mad. I would say no. I don't want people to make comparisons with Miss Dorothy Lamour. I am Katy Jurado, no one else.
• [1966] I have a lover. My lover is my career. For many years I hated my career, acting. It took me away from my children. But now it is my sweetheart, my husband, my lover.
• [1970] I don't want to die making films like a hero. What's the money for if you don't enjoy it?
• [when asked if she preferred Hispanic men] Nationality has nothing to do with being a man. What counts is the way he brushes your hand, the way he looks at you, and the little things he does and says.
• [remembering the 1950s] Then men were beautiful - they were real men.
