1. "An actor has to be very, very careful, as one of the most wonderful props - and actors love props - is a cigarette.

2. "Acting is the business of truth, so that we can see ourselves reflected back and learn." ~ Melissa Leo

18. "Ever since Marilyn Monroe was transformed from one of the prettiest girls you could ever hope to see into an icon, everyone has been trying to repeat that icon. And now the entire industry is filled with, and by and large run by, wannabes." ~ Melissa Leo
