Samile Diane Friesen Quotes

  • I get asked, from time to time, “How do you stay so fit, even after all these years? It must be tai-chi or something, because you look like a cheerleader!” Actually, more than anything else, it’s praying to God… not that I don’t enjoy being mistaken for my daughter’s sister!
  • [on working with director Otto Preminger on Such Good Friends (1971)] I was warned about him — but could anybody really be that bad? Yeah, they could. Elaine May wrote a great screenplay. He took a piece of beauty and screwed it up. It was an incredible part and he destroyed it. I have been the victim of some killers in my time. He’s one of the biggest. He’s a horrible man. Phew! But who ever hears of him anymore? Is he still alive?
  • I don’t acknowledge age. I’m not afraid of what’s called age. The only thing that would ever frighten me would be losing my vitality or energy or the stars in my eyes or love for life. And I don’t believe that’s connected with numbers.
