Amy Irving’s 5 most popular quotes
- And you know, the baby boomers are getting older, and those off the rack clothes are just not fitting right any longer, and so, tailor-made suits are coming back into fashion.
- When my career first began, I didn’t have children – so there’s a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I’m going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I’m gone. That sort-of factor plays a part.
- Actors are not a great breed of people, I don’t think. I count myself as something of an exception. I grew up in the theater, and my values were about the work, and not being a star or anything like that. I’m not spoiled in that way, and if I fight for something, it’s about the work, not about how big my trailer is.
- I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I’m an old hippie from San Francisco.
- I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I’m a pain. They may say I’m tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.
