"it was of great comfort to Vivien. It meant a great deal to the film.
I haven't seen a lot of Kim, but when we do see each other, there is no time, no space between us. There she is again, just the same, my sweet sister, my buddy, my Stella."

"Karl [Malden] is one of the kindest men on the plant, and he was courtly and kind to Vivien. I did what I could, but there was always a distance—a respectful distance—between Vivien and me, both as Stanley and as Marlon.
