Sally Kellerman quotes:

Well, it was the beginning of my film career. It was amazing to me that I got nominated for an Academy Award.

I remember working with Rod, though, on Chrysler Hour. I was too young and dumb to know that I was supposed to be scared of anybody or anything - like getting fired or anything like that.

I was in group therapy for years but it wasn't the same thing. It was more about growing.

My friends always said that I should be a comedienne - I was named my class clown.

I'm very close with Bob and his lovely, fabulous wife Catherine, too.

I was an idiot in terms of career-building, but I had a great time.

I had just had small parts in other films, and I'd worked with a lot of directors in TV.

Well, you know, I've had a very checkered career.

I wasn't a businesswoman, so I didn't know how to build a career.

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

No, I don't belong to a retirement community.

I work out, I go to pilates, I walk and I eat everything I can get my hands on.

It hasn't been smooth or delightful every minute, there were lean years and rough years, but it's been exciting and good and I'm thrilled to be an actress and a singer and to have spent my life this way.

I got more bands and went on the road and turn down more movies than you would believe.

I hope to have some more cracks at some wonderful roles before I go to the Great Beyond.

I was always playing the hard-bitten drunk.

I was always telling everybody that I could be funny.
