Joanne Woodward - biography

“Acting is like sex.  You should do it, not talk about it.”

“An activist is someone who makes an effort to see problems that are not being addressed and then makes an effort to make their voice heard.  Sometimes there are so many things that it’s almost impossible to make your voice heard in every area, but you can sure try.”

“I was down in Washington when 9/11 happened.  We were in the middle of putting together the next summer season, and all I could think of was something somehow must make sense to us.  Our Town kept coming into my mind.”

“Intensity is so much more becoming in the young.”

“My daughter, the one who lives nearby, is raising her children to be very much aware.  We went on a nature walk on Monday; I’m learning so much from her.”

“Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.”

“Signing autographs is just silly.”

“There can be no one best way of organizing a business.”
