Cytaty Anne Bancroft
„I understand the world... I'm just a little dismayed that people aren't beyond it yet.“
— Anne Bancroft
Context: I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We're talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world... I'm just a little dismayed that people aren't beyond it yet.
Interview (2003).
„He understands not only with his brain but with his heart.“
— Anne Bancroft
Context: He understands not only with his brain but with his heart. And that might be called love. Not quite sure, but maybe that's the key.

„If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely — by that time, you're both dead.“
— Anne Bancroft
Context: First of all, you have to marry the right person. If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely — by that time, you're both dead. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the right person.
On successful marriage. Associated Press interview (1997).
„If there are, let's say, 20 astronauts, there may be two women among those 20 astronauts. If there are 20 FBI guys, there's one woman and the rest are men. So when somebody writes a script about life, usually the leading role will be the man, because mostly what women do is at home taking care of the children... That's the most important job there is on Earth. And why shouldn't women have it since they are the better of the two sexes?“
