I Got Cast Playing The Best Baseball

After A Couple Of Rehearsals And A Couple Of Takes, Sydney Pollack Says, "come Here. Why Are You Not Nervous?" And I [say], "do You Think It Would Be Better If I Was Nervous?" And He Says, "no, It's Just I Can't Understand It - How You Would Be First Time On A Set, You're Acting, When He Flubs His Line You Make Up A New Line. It's Very Interesting." It's Not That I Think I'm Great; That's What I Knew I Wanted To Do.

When My Friends And I Would Act Out Movies As Kids, We'd Play The Guys' Roles, Since They Had The Most Interesting Things To Do. Decades Later, I Can Hardly Believe My Sons And Daughter Are Seeing Many Of The Same Limited Choices In Current Films.

I Don't Know How In The Twenty-first Century We Can Possibly Justify Not Showing Girls Things That They Can Aspire To, And At The Same Time, How Can We Possibly Be Showing Boys This Narrow Vision Of What Women Are And What They Can Be.

I Really Only Did Theater In School In College. I Did Summer Stock A Couple Of Times In The Summer, And Plays That The School Put On. But I Knew I Wanted To Be In Movies.

Nobody Ever Said, "well If You Want To Be In Movies, You Should Go To L.a." Everybody Else Was Going To New York. So I Went To New York With Them. And Then I Was Like, "how Am I Supposed To Get A Movie?"
