Notable quotes

“I can’t tell you how encouraging a thing like this is. The first film that I was ever in was in 1915, and here we are, and it’s 1969. Actually, I don’t know why it took me so long, though I don’t think, you know, that I’m backward. Anyway, thank you Bill, thank you Bob, thank you Roman and thank you Mia, and thank all of you who voted for me.”
— Ruth speech when she won oscar award in 1969.
“Work on yourself. Believe in yourself. Show up! Support others! The bounty of the world will open up for you.”

“I was amazed the way Garson could take these teams and make me want to see their pictures all over again.”
