Amy Davis Irving Quotes

• [on Barbra Streisand, directing her in Yentl (1983)] She’d fix my hair ribbons, brush an eyelash off my cheek, paint my lips to match the color of the fruit on the table. I was like her little doll that she could dress up.
• Actors are not a great breed of people, I don’t think. I count myself as something of an exception. I grew up in the theater, and my values were about the work, and not being a star or anything like that. 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.
• I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I’m an old hippie from San Francisco.
• During my marriage to Steven, I felt like a politician’s wife. There were certain things expected of me that definitely weren’t me. One of my problems is that I’m very honest and direct. You pay a price for that. But then I behaved myself and I paid a price too.
• (1977, about her decisions on working with her then partner) I would love to work for Steven [Spielberg] but, right now, I want to make it on my own first. I do not ever want to be known as “Steven Spielberg’s girlfriend”.
• I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I’m a pain. They may say I’m tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.

• The scene in Carrie (1976) where her character Sue Snell is walking along the footpath to put flowers on Carrie’s burnt house (dream sequence). Director Brian De Palma wanted Amy to walk backwards in that shot in order to make it look more “dreamy”.
