Sandy Dennis's quotes

  • [on acting]: It isn't like painting a picture, or writing a book. When you finish an acting stint, there's nothing except money. You have to keep going, giving the best you've got, to get something intangible.
  • I should have kept myself blonder and thinner, but I just didn't care enough.
  • Having an Academy Award lasts longer than sex.
  • The truth is I was never married. We (she and Gerry Mulligan) had a long association but we never married. The newspapers jumped to that conclusion. And I'm not fussy about it. [Interview with The Christian Science Monitor, 1991]
  • I've picked the wrong guys in the past and having a guy around drives me crazy anyway. I can never understand that moment when you get into bed and there's another person there who is going to intrude on your life.
  • Gerry was a very handsome man, and Eric was a very pretty boy. That's about how deep my feelings went.
