![]() Sylvia Sidney Quotation"Every young actress thinks she's a tragedian -- the more tragic roles, the more you cry, the more you suffer, the better an actress you are. But, when I got a little older, a little more mature, I wanted to get out of my image of "the victimized kid." I began to say, "Wait a minute. There's a thing called comedy that takes an even rougher intelligence and more technique and knowledge of the craft." "I'd be the girl of the gangster...then the sister who was bringing up the gangster...then the mother of the gangster...and they always had me ironing somebody's shirt." "What did Hitchcock teach me? To be a puppet and not try to be creative." "Paramount paid me by the tear." Movie Title: Beetle Juice (1988) as Juno: Barbara : We're very unhappy. Juno : What did you expect? You're dead. [On Adam's and Barbara's attempts to haunt their old house.] Juno : I heard. Tore your faces right off. It obviously doesn't do any good to pull your heads off in front of people if they can't see you. Juno : We cannot have a routine haunting like yours provide proof that there is existence beyond death. Movie Title: You Only Live Once (1937) as Joan Graham: Joan Graham : Anywhere's our home. On the road. Out there on a cold star. Anywhere's our home. Movie Title: Blood on the Sun (1945) as Iris Hilliard: Iris Hilliard : Japanese women aren't allowed to think. It's against the law. Movie Title: Mars Attacks! (1996) as Grandma Florence Norris: Richie Norris : I bet you're psyched about the Martians coming Grandma? I mean, you've seen a lot of crazy stuff already. Everyone must have been real scared when they invented the train! Grandma Florence Norris : Come on kid I'm not that old! Grandma Florence Norris : Richie, I think these guys are very sick. Grandma Florence Norris : They blew up Congress! Ha ha ha ha! |
