I'll be a flop in movies. Besides, I don't like 'em, and I never did believe there was a place called Hollywood. Somebody made it up!

Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
When I was a little girl, I used to watch a lot of monster movies, like 'Godzilla.' All those monster movies.
