Dorothy Stratten’s 5 most popular quotes
- If someone’s going to talk about me, I’d want it to be positive. The way many write, you’d think only bad things were interesting. If we don’t think positively, what’s the use? It’s a lot more fun, you know.
- I can honestly and proudly say that I was never on the casting couch. Oh, of course, there have been advances from certain men in the movie industry, but nothing overwhelming.
- It’s good to have a manager who shares your interests, or goals. You can presumably trust a husband. I don’t know if it’s the best way to work. I really shouldn’t discuss this.
- I don’t think a powerful man would be interesting unless he were nice and attractive, with or without the power. Men are interested in powerful men. Women are interested in terrific men!
- I think if you work as an actress and are supposed as a character to be in love with some actor, then to some extent you do have to be in love with him.
