Louise Fletcher's quotes
- Milos Forman doesn't want to discuss anything with his actors.
- [In sign language to her deaf parents, upon winning the Oscar for Best Actress] I want to thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true.
- The Communist Party was my Nurse Ratched! [Milos Forman, in Milos Forman: Co te nezabije... (2009)].
- That's the main reason I gave up my career after John was born and I was pregnant with Andrew. I could not handle going away day after day. The thought of going away before they got up and coming back after they were in bed was intolerable.
- Live television drama was like live theater, because you moved without thinking about the camera. It followed you around. In film you have to be more aware of what the camera is doing.
- I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn't have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That's the way Southern girls thought.
- If I fell down and hurt myself, I never cried. There was no one to hear me.
- She and my uncle were very sociable and would have a lot of people over at night to play cards or whatever. The high spot of those evenings was when we kids got dressed up to do a skit or something to amuse the guests. I loved it.
- [2012, on why she can no longer bear to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)] I find it too painful. It comes with age. I can't watch movies that are inhumane. I was really shocked in those scenes where I was actually so cruel.
- You know, I lived in the real world. I grew up around handicapped people, lots of times deaf people. My father was a missionary to the deaf. You cannot come from that kind of background and suddenly feel like a movie star.
- There is competition in our business and rejection. People ask me, "I want to be an actor. What's your advice?" My advice is "Don't do it."
