 Piper Laurie Quotation"Nobody thought of me as an actress. They just remembered that publicity story about my munching flower petals for breakfast. I even thought of giving up the name 'Piper Laurie' because I felt there was a stigma attached to it. I never could figure out just how many parts I lost and how many parts I won because of this name. I know some producers and directors said, 'Well, maybe she can act even if her name is Piper Laurie!'" "If I had stayed in Hollywood, I would have killed myself. Or someone would have done it for me." Movie Title: Appointment with Death (1988) as Mrs. Emily Boynton: Mrs. Emily Boynton : I never forget anything: not a name, not a face, not an action. Movie Title: Twin Peaks (1990) as Catherine Packard Martell: Catherine Packard Martell : Didn't he want to talk to me? Pete Martell : Yeah, but we told him you were on your world tour, he should contact your press agent. Catherine Packard Martell : You know what shenanigans are, don't you? Movie Title: The Hustler (1961) as Sarah Packard: [Fast Eddie is bothered because Bert called him a born loser] Fast Eddie : Cause, ya see, twice, Sarah... once at Ames with Minnesota Fats and then again at Arthur's, in that cheap, crummy pool room, now why'd I do it, Sarah? Why'd I do it? I coulda beat that guy, coulda beat 'im cold, he never woulda known. But I just hadda show 'im. Just hadda show those creeps and those punks what the game is like when it's great, when it's REALLY great. You know, like anything can be great, anything can be great. I don't care, BRICKLAYING can be great, if a guy knows. If he knows what he's doing and why and if he can make it come off. When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm REALLY goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he KNOWS... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im, timing touch... it's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm. The pool cue's part of me. You know, it's uh - pool cue, it's got nerves in it. It's a piece of wood, it's got nerves in it. Feel the roll of those balls, you don't have to look, you just KNOW. You make shots that nobody's ever made before. I can play that game the way... NOBODY'S ever played it before. Sarah Packard : You're not a loser, Eddie, you're a winner. Some men never get to feel that way about anything. Sarah Packard : How did you know my name is Sarah? Fast Eddie : You told me last night. Sarah Packard : I always lie when I drink. Fast Eddie : Okay, so what is your name today? Sarah Packard : Sarah. Movie Title: Dawn at Socorro (1954) as Rannah Hayes: Brett Wade : Allow me to introduce myself. Rannah Hayes : I know who you are. Brett Wade : By reputation? Rannah Hayes : No, by your notoriety. Brett Wade : What's your destination, Miss Hayes? Rannah Hayes : Socorro. Brett Wade : What's your destiny? Marriage? Rannah Hayes : Yes. Brett Wade : It's not the answer I was hoping for. Rannah Hayes : Don't you believe in marriage? Brett Wade : I once had many beliefs. One of them was marriage. Rannah Hayes : Well, just exactly does my job call for? Dick Braden : See that my patrons spend more money at the bar and lose more money at the table than they had intended to. You'll do this by treating every patron as if he were handsome and entertaining, and by regarding yourself as beautiful, desirable and approachable. Movie Title: Carrie (1976) as Margaret White: Margaret White : [Referring to Carrie's prom gown] Red. I might have known it would be red. Carrie : It's pink, Mama. [Presenting corsage] Carrie : Look what Tommy gave me, Mama. Aren't they beautiful? Margaret White : I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will. Carrie : Breats, Mama. They're called breasts, and every woman has them. Margaret White : There're all gonna laugh at you. Margaret White : These are godless times, Mrs. Snell. Mrs. Snell : I'll drink to that. Margaret White : I should've killed myself when he put it in me. After the first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised, and I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should've given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the devil has come home. We'll pray. Carrie : Yes. Margaret White : We'll pray. We'll pray. We'll pray for the last time. We'll pray. Margaret White : Carrie, you haven't touched your apple cake. Carrie White : It gives me pimples, Mama. Margaret White : Pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you. Margaret White : Witch. Got Satan's Power. Carrie White : It has nothing to do with Satan, Mama. It's me. Me. If I concentrate hard enough, I can move things. Margaret White : And the raven was called sin... Say it. The raven was called sin. Carrie White : Why didn't you tell me momma... Margaret White : Say it. Carrie White : No. Margaret White : The raven was called sin. Carrie White : No momma... And the raven was called sin. Margaret White : I'm here on the Lord's work, Mrs. Snell; spreadin' the gospel of God's salvation through Christ's blood! Mrs. Snell : Yes, of course... Movie Title: The Grass Harp (1995) as Dolly Talbo: Dolly Talbo : Love is a chain. Movie Title: The Last Brickmaker in America (2001) as Mrs. Potter / Danny Potter: Mr. Potter: He's a brickmaker. Mrs. Potter : He's a legend. [After surveying some graffiti on the walls of the Washington Public School.] Henry Cobb : I can't understand why a boy as smart and thoughtful as you would do such a thing. Danny Potter : I was mad. Henry Cobb : At the school? Danny Potter : At my parents. Henry Cobb : Then why didn't you spray paint them? |
