I Won't Do This Movie Because I

Give Me An Hour And I'll Make A Lifetime Out Of It.

The First Time An Autograph Hunter Told Me, 'you Are My Mother's Favorite Actress,' I Aged Twenty Years.

I Said, "i Don't Think I Can Give You That Kind Of Emotion." And He [hitchcock] Sat There And Said, "ingrid, Fake It!" Well, That Was The Best Advice I've Had In My Whole Life, Because In All The Years To Come There Were Many Directors Who Gave Me What I Thought Were Quite Impossible Instructions And Many Difficult Things To Do, And Just When I Was On The Verge Of Starting To Argue With Them, I Heard His Voice Coming To Me Through The Air Saying, "ingrid, Fake It!" It Saved A Lot Of Unpleasant Situations And Waste Of Time.

I Didn't Choose Acting. It Chose Me.
