Actors are not a great breed of people, I don't think. I count myself as something of an exception.

I'm not spoiled in that way, and if I fight for something, it's about the work, not about how big my trailer is. (Amy Irving)

When my career first began, I didn't have children - so there's a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I'm going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I'm gone. That sort-of factor plays a part. View quote
Amy Irving
One of my problems is that I'm very honest and direct. You pay a price for that. (Amy Irving)
