Ellen Burstyn Quotes

I did my famous cabbage soup diet, so I was able to do it Picture Quote #1
I sketched out a rough story for them and the director said, well it’s a good story but we have the go - ahead from Universal to make this script and did I want to do it. I said no, and they left Picture Quote #1
Their life is about getting enough money to put food on the table to feed their children, and that’s it Picture Quote #1
I do like to work with young directors because it’s such a difficult business that I think after directors have been around a while sometimes, not always, but sometimes their passion gets siphoned off because they get hurt Picture Quote #1
Well my taste wasn’t very good when I first started out. But later, when I began to appreciate the art of acting, I would say the actress I most admire is Vanessa Redgrave Picture Quote #1
It’s about avoiding reality through various escape routes that become addictions and lead to Hell. My character is addicted to television, chocolate, coffee, to her dream of her son, which has no basis in reality Picture Quote #1

They pulled Resurrection out of the theatres, so it was running in New York and I was nominated for the Oscar and there was no ad in the newspapers to say it was running. So it was literally killed Picture Quote #1
Then in came this script with another very low offer, and another drug addict and a depressing and difficult part to play. I thought, ‘Why should I put myself through that for hardly any money?’ Picture Quote #1
It’s been awhile. My Oscar is getting kind of tarnished. I looked at it a couple of years ago and thought I really needed a new one Picture Quote #1
I’ve lived most of my life in Manhattan, but as close as Brooklyn is to Manhattan, there are people who live there who have been to Manhattan maybe once or twice Picture Quote #1
I wanted to work on this central problem of killing. How you go about killing. Now, in the film I had to kill my children - well, I didn’t want to get that far Picture Quote #1

I think that the change began... I made a film a few years ago called the Spitfire Grill, and that didn’t make much money either, but it was a good film and an independent film Picture Quote #1
I talked to women who lived there, to get their speech patterns and outlook on life - and how narrow that is Picture Quote #1
I couldn’t kill a chicken, I couldn’t kill a cow - I was a vegetarian too at that time - so I thought, well what is there that I could kill? I couldn’t kill this and I couldn’t kill that Picture Quote #1
I always wanted to play Joan of Arc. I’ve always wanted to do that. Now I’m thinking, ‘Maybe there’s a story in Joan of Arc’s mother!’ If I don’t hurry up, her grandmother! Picture Quote #1
Their life is about getting enough money to put food on the table to feed their children, and that’s it Picture Quote #1

Regret is a toxin that I try not to allow in my body Picture Quote #1
Everything gets old if you do it often enough Picture Quote #1
What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be Picture Quote #1
It’s a sin to have your films not to make money Picture Quote #1
I do like to work with young directors because it’s such a difficult business that I think after directors have been around a while sometimes, not always, but sometimes their passion gets siphoned off because they get hurt Picture Quote #1
She loses 50 pounds in the film, and goes from fairly sane to totally out of her mind. So for the first part of the film I was wearing a 40 pound fat suit, which is very, very uncomfortable. But the worst part was the neck Picture Quote #1
