Glenn Close shares why she's never had a successful relationship

This interview took place in 2018 for Refinery29's Strong Opinions Loosely Held series.

Because we haven't met, of course.

[@gracesanity6314]

I get you lady. I am too awake to date. To broken also. No man...personally l could tolerate. Now that l actually have a selfhood....dating outside of me...makes no sense. I am real fine solo. Amen

[@buzzcutbiene2211]

@gracesanity6314 Are you really fine? Because I suffer from it - but I can't, the older I get the worse it gets. I wonder why I was able in my twenties. I so much wish that I could love a man but I just can`t.

[@orphanoforbit7588]

I can't seem to love a woman either. They all want the same thing. It's boring. They only stick around if you have something they need, like money or a big dick. Humanity in general is too dishonest for me.

LOVE watching Glenn Close act; what an underrated actor!

[@orphanoforbit7588]

Oh come on. Do you understand what "underrated" means? You are one of those people who say it without even thinking about it. I bet everything is underrated.

[@cadecannon159]

She’s under-awarded, not underrated

[@vc5611]

@@cadecannon159 NO, incorrect. She’s phenomenal without any awards; she has proven that already. Underrated means that not enough people praise her acting -has nothing to do with awards.

This interview had nothing to do with "why she's never had a successful relationship".

Give Glenn her Oscar already.....

I think Glenn has an INFP personality.

[@rhodamackenzie8120]

what is that?

[@lemorab1]

@@rhodamackenzie8120 It means "Introverted Feeling Personality" based on the Myers Briggs Personality Profiling system used by lots of psychoanalysts over the decades. It's complicated. Best not to take it too seriously.

[@orphanoforbit7588]

​@@rhodamackenzie8120there's this thing called Google and it gets you answers instantly. Just type in the stupid term INFP and you'll get yet another meaningless personality title. Everything is made up so nothing matters.

Wait. I thought Meryl Streep held the title of the most Oscar noms. Somebody lying here!

Without winning!

[@michaelwelsh7362]

Simple truth, you have a biological purpose like all living things and as mammals if you engage in that purpose, because human offspring are so completely vulnerable for such a long time, someone has the primary responsibility to take care of them and that is a full time job, often very boring and tedious. Consequently humans have not done a very good job of figuring out the best way to do that but human unlike other mammals can opt out of that which then frees up a lot of time to engage in some other purposes, social or cultural. The real question, especially for women, is can I do both and do them well, or should I choose one or the other recognizing that either choice would leave some regrets for the choices I didn’t make. Make a movie about that👀👀👀

Always wondered what she's like in real life.

I love Glenn Close, I always have and always will. She is just too good for jealous men. ❤

BOO HOO 😭

[@PaulMcElveen]

I don't like Glenn Close! I never have and I never will!

[@gustavohorn2194]

Why though?

[@PaulMcElveen]

I have never been a fan of Glenn Close. I just don't like her. She lies about having written songs that other people have written. She is arrogant. I don't wish anything bad to happen to her. I don't like her as an actress. All of the television and theatrical movies I have seen With Glenn Close I didn't like her. I didn't pay to see any of the television movies or theatrical movies I saw her in. All of the characters she has ever portrayed in the movies that I saw are either despicable or not likeable at all. Glenn Close is of the film actresses who does nudity in multiple movies. Anyone can take their clothes off. That has nothing to do with any real artistic ability or talent. Glenn Close needs to keep her clothes on. I don't like graphic violent movies or violent movies. I don't like nudity in movies or sex scenes. In all the movies Glenn Close was nude in as in most movies with nudity, it was completely unnecessary. It is for shock value. My imagination is far too sophisticated for anything that is shown on film or on television or on stage. I don't like pornography either. I have never seen a porn movie. I have seen some R-rated movies which I considered be soft porn which is the official term used. In some of the film classes I took in college my classmates and I had to watch all these movies. Some I really despised and others I really liked. I am not a prude. It doesn't shock me. Many actors and actresses won't do nude scenes or sex scenes. I just am not fan of Glenn Close. @@gustavohorn2194

I'm sure you're a delightful person!

Your loss.

[@jeffreyfeet]

You don't get her. Your loss

[@gavinbrando8255]

No feminist knows how to have a successful relationship. They always die alone and lonely insisting that that's what they wanted and that men were just too insecure to be around them. We all know that that is what they have to tell themselves because the truth would ruin their already ruined life story.

Only a traditional misogynistic man would say this

You sound like a real peach. Stop scratching long enough to type that, did you?

[@Henry_Quinn]

How does she stay so slim? She's not exactly the athletic type.
