Amy Irving Quotes

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.
Amy Irving

Work, Great, Fight

When my career first began, I didn't have children - so there's a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I'm going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I'm gone. That sort-of factor plays a part.
Amy Irving
