I Don’t Want To Be A Mentor

I'm Method Trained. How Is This Character Like Me? What Does She Think Of Her Mother? What Does Her Mother Think Of Her?

It's No Stretch To Picture Me Standing Next To Al Pacino Or Robert De Niro. Those Are Ethnic New York Men. I'm An Ethnic New York Girl. Everybody Has Their Limitations. I Mean, I Should Never Be Cast As Queen Elizabeth.

I’m Tenacious, I Think – I Know – And I Do Also Have A Quality Where If You Tell Me I Can’t Do Something, If I Know I Can’t Do It I’m The First To Raise My Hand And Say, “i Can’t Do That.” But There Is A Big Bronx, New York Jew In Me That Just Says, “really?

I Guess I Worry About Weird Existential Things, Like How Do We Spend Our Final Act. This Is A Very Emotional Question. I Can't Answer It Without Crying. I Think, You're 56 Years Old, What Did You Do? You Raised Two Good Kids. What Am I Going To Do Now That Is As Meaningful As That? I Don't Know The Answer Yet.
