| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [Talking about her experience filming "Galaxy of Terror" in 1981] Nobody walked in and nominated themselves cast asshole, as is often the case. Everybody got along pretty well. |
| 2 | [Recollecting working on the 1981 film "Galaxy of Terror"] We all said during the making of it that it was a film about corridors and tentacles. |
| 3 | I do less waiting by the phone than anyone I know in the business. I don't wait for a job. I just go on to my own work. Some people are suspicious of others who have more than one talent. I've had poets tell me to my face that an actress can't be a poet. |

| 4 | Grew up in the French Quarter of New Orleans where her father started Lafitte's, a well-known café and bar on Bourbon Street, frequented by such prolific personalities as Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal and Truman Capote. |
| 5 | Grace and her daughter Marion Lane hand craft fine art boxes for "ArtHaus" a Los Angeles gallery. |
