Karen Black Quotations

There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.

I love playing strong women, even if theyre nuts.

If you can write it, I can be it.

I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week.

I've been invited to do a trio with a fantastic jazz guitarist and a harmonica player

If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.

I dislike when people try to pigeonhole me, when all I want is to do good work.

If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.

I love coloring books. I keep some by my bed.

I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... Im a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.

I think it's interesting that we had reached a point when people were pretty knowledgeable about getting the vaccine, then we had the shortages. Now I feel we are going back to square one.

Even just a small bone break could cost thousands of dollars in hospital and physician care. For people that are in low income levels without insurance, it could cost medical bankruptcy.

This is just a first step in many steps. We will fine-tune some of the choices that are currently on the site.

I don't think the public understands mental health issues. . . . Because of that, I don't think some kids are getting the support they need.

As a teenager I studied opera, believe it or not. But I just couldn't catch on to it.

I like to watch people. For example, people at the airport... What is interesting about them is that they dont know what they are like. People at airports are the most brilliant actors in the world, because their attention is elsewhere, and they are idiosyncratic. I like to imitate people. I walk behind them and imitate their backs.

There were all these rumors about me... so I went indoors. No one saw me for years. And since I wasnt around, people believed what they wanted.

I have kept working, even if Ive thrown off the big movies I used to do. I still have three or four wonderful little movies coming out.

I was doing bad movies as a day job. And it almost ruined my life for a while. But I have done 130-odd films, and only fourteen have been spooky ones. Im not spooky! I want life!
