Piper Laurie Quotes

I've always felt robbed of something by people not knowing I was a Jew.

I never forget, remember that. Not an action, not a name, not a face.

The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.

One thing is certain. The old Piper Laurie is no more.

I was so flattered to be asked to be in the movies - the idea of being paid to act was heady stuff.

Back then, everyone was Lana and Rock. No one had ethnic names.

Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it.

And even then when you take it, you've got to take it with your whole heart.

If I had stayed in Hollywood, I would have killed myself. Or someone would have done it for me

I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid.
