I Didn't Choose Acting. It Chose Me.

In Paris, When The Picture Came Out [casablanca] They Weren't Too Pleased With It. They Didn't Like The Political Point Of View. The Picture Was Taken Off Immediately And Was Never Sold To Television. A While Ago It Was Brought In And Opened In Five Theatres In Paris, As A New Movie. They Had A Big Gala Opening Where I Appeared And People Were Absolutely Crazy About It.

My Life Has Been Wonderful. I Have Done What I Felt Like. I Was Given Courage And I Was Given Adventure And That Has Carried Me Along. And Then Also A Sense Of Humor And A Little Bit Of Common Sense. It Has Been A Very Rich Life.

Happiness Is Good Health And A Bad Memory.

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 Don't Think Anyone Has The Right To Intrude In Your Life, But They Do. I Would Like People To Separate The Actress And The Woman.
