I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting.
I'd never been content in America.
My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

  • Turned down the role of Lara in Doctor Zhivago (1965) at the time the most coveted role in Hollywood, several times before finally accepting
  • Originally signed for the role of the Senator's wife in _American Gigolo (1980)_ when Richard Gere was signed to the project, but quit when Gere was ditched in favor of John Travolta. Travolta later dropped out and Gere was hired for the film, but Christie was not offered the role that was eventually played by Lauren Hutton. Ironically, a rumor in the 1970s held that Christie and Hutton were lovers. Christie and Gere would eventually appear together in Sidney Lumet's Power (1986).
