Most actors are insecure enough already without having a director who adds to that.
Miss Cornell told me I was too young and lacked proper stage diction.
Kubrick had all his shots laid out before he started, all sketched out by his wife, who was quite a good artist.
It finally became clear to me that they had no hopes of my ever walking again.
In the midst of all this, I got pneumonia, followed by an infection they couldn't seem to locate.
In May of '96 I had to take these problems very seriously. I'd had an MRI and had been told at that time that I had a lot of disease in my fourth lumbar.
In fact, I was flattered to think I may have been so convincing in those roles that people really believed it was me, Emily Marie, up there on screen.
In '48 when I left Metro, I tried to go back to radio, but somehow just didn't do well at it.
I'm 5 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.
I'd say my happiest moment as an actress came when I learned I'd won the Look Magazine Best Supporting Actress Award for 1956 in The Killing.
I'd had some stage training, and he was trying to get me not to use my big voice.
I'd been trying for all of the eight years we'd been married to have a child, and finally I did.
I'd also say having Jack's son Chris living with us from his 13th year on helped in raising Rick.
I work best with those who've had enough experience with actors to know not to belittle them and who will instill confidence - like Stanley Kubrick on The Killing.
I thought my nose was too prominent so I had this corrected via plastic surgery in 1959.
I then had a heavy schedule of physical therapy, trying to teach me how to stand, to wash and dress myself, etc. I was given exercises while in bed to strengthen the muscles in my legs and back - because I didn't have enough strength to stay in a sitting position.
I never had enough self confidence.
I never got great salaries and was constantly concerned with rent and car payments.
I never believed that Sherry meant to be so cruel, but she felt that life just hadn't given her a fair shake, and she was determined that it would... so I tried to approach her from that point of view.
I knew I had a great figure, but I never regarded myself as beautiful.
