Kim Cattrall's quotes

  • There are so many avenues of performing. I'm not interested in the form of musical theater unless it's something like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), which is a blast.
  • I don't know many women who can relate to Sharon Stone and the kind of movies she does. I don't know a lot of guys who can relate to Tom Cruise's movies because they're on a kind of fantastic level. I like movies I can relate to.
  • [on Sex and the City (1998)] The show is celebrating what it's like to be a woman. We do things people think about but don't vocalize. It gives men and women permission to talk in a way that is healthy.
  • I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point, I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.
  • I'm finding now in my 40s that the less makeup I wear, the better. I think softer is better as you get older. With everything. Except men.
  • I prefer younger men. In some ways, they are much more open to a woman being stronger and independent then some of the men my age.
  • To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that.
  • I'm inspired by actresses like Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe. You can't teach what they do.
  • There's no better feeling than when you know that you're going to be on stage each night, trying to make the part better and different for an audience. That's just the way I am. I don't think I'm going to change now.
  • I am no size zero or super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.
  • I've been in love for most of my life, but that love has been for my work.
  • Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.
  • Theatre is so important to me because it has nothing to do with looks at all. When you're in movies, people say "Oh, you look so pretty" but no one ever says "Oh, I loved that moment." In theatre, it's really about the moment.
  • I was just a hippie chick from Vancouver Island. What did I know?
  • [on reading "Fifty Shades of Grey"] It's fun - whatever turns you on. All these women of a certain age are finally having fun and what's wrong with that? We're all adults.
  • I was the last of the contract players that the studios had - myself and Jamie Lee Curtis.
  • [When filming Rosebud (1975), director Otto Preminger] He just felt the best way to get a performance out of someone was to intimidate them. I was determined that I was never going to cry in front of him. So I would go home and let it out there.
  • I'm smart with my money, I invest conservatively. I don't mind paying top-dollar, but I don't want to get ripped off.
  • I'm a British-born, Canadian-raised New Yorker. That seems to suit me. That's who I am. I also think as an actor, it's important to be an outsider. I think if I became an American, I'd feel... different.
  • [to men] It might seem strange, but every now and then, check out your backside in the mirror. If you don't like what you see, chances are we [women] feel the same.
  • I'm a trysexual. I'll try anything once. I'm certainly not a prude.
  • [on the rumored feud between her and Sarah Jessica Parker] People don't want to believe that we get on. They have too much invested in the idea of two strong, successful women fighting with each other. It makes for juicy gossip and copy.
  • [on her childhood fear of vampires] I saw Bela Lugosi on some late-night show. I was terrified one would come through my window so I would sleep with a scarf around my neck. In case it would bite my neck.
  • Women are now expected to resemble children with no hair on their body or any kind of humanity in their faces. But when I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something and it's life.
  • Dad was always telling me, "You can do anything." So I grew up thinking that if he believed in me, I could do whatever I put my mind to.
