Shelley Duvall

Take events in your life seriously, take work seriously, but don't take yourself seriously, or you'll become affected, pompous and boring.

But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.

I'm one of those people who thinks you can have a happy life and still be an artist.

To keep the business going, you gotta keep it boomin'.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.
