“It has always been a diffculty to perform. How I get around it is, I’m not Audrey Hepburn. I’m Holly Golightly or Eliza Doolittle.”
“What has always helped me a great deal, for instance, are the clothes, because I didn’t have this technique of being able to deal with a part in, you know, however way it was, it was often an enormous help to know that you looked the part. Then the rest wasn’t so tough anymore.”
“In a very obvious way, let’s say you do a period picture, whether it was War and Peace, or The Nun’s Story, where you wear a habit. Once you’re in that habit of that nun, it’s not that you become a nun. But you walk differently, you feel something.”
“[Talking about My Fair Lady] In that absolutely sublime dress, with my hair dressed to kill, and diamonds everywhere, I felt super! All I had to do was walk down the staircase in Professor Higgins’ House, but the dress made me do it. Clothes, like they say, make the man, but in my case, they also gave me the confidence I often needed.”
“Those movies were fairy tales. That’s always been me… I’ve never changed. A princess or a flower girl were all parts of me and I was parts of them.”

“I think the qualities that my mother gave me include intelligence, humor, sensitivity, the ability to scrutinize people. I feel she gave me her sense of power and her sense of strength as she deals with the world around her. And her contribution to women and to women’s issues in addition to being to a loving mother. She has also just as a woman been a great example for me.” - Leslie Bogart
