“Let whatever’s going to happen, happen. Don’t judge it before you do it. Sure, sometimes it will be terrible, but sometimes it will just be amazing. That’s where the gold is.”……….”Some parts stay with me for weeks afterward. It’s these people that I play. They get under my skin, and I just can’t let go of them. I have immersed myself into their lives and into their beings so much that they feel like a part of me.”…….”The reason I am a good actress, I think, is because the times when I didn’t have a good part… and you think, ‘What the hell do you do with it?’ You have to figure something out.” Cloris Leachman
