I Watch Many, Many, Many Independent Films

I Watch Many, Many, Many Independent Films Every Year That You See Once In A Film Festival And They're Never Heard Of Ever Again. Many Of Them Are Very, Very Good.

I Think It's Very Important That Films Like Bad Hurt Don't Get Lost In The Mix Of The Sci-fi-kill-everything-on-the-screen-blood-dripping-down-the-walls Sort Of The World Of The Cinema That We Live In.

I'm From A Generation Of Fantastic Actresses. It's A Big Pool Of Really Wonderful Actresses, And So Many Of Them We Never Even Get To See On The Screen Anymore.

I Was Always Drawn Toward The Actor's Studio. I Studied At The Lee Strasberg Institute When I First Came To New York. One Of My Favorite Teachers Was One Of Al [pachino]'s Teachers, A Guy Named Charlie Laughton, Who Was Just A Wonderful, Wonderful Man.

I Have To Say From An Actor's Perspective, To Work With A Director Who Has Been An Actor Through Most Of Their Career Is A Pleasure. They Generally Have A Very Deep Understanding Of The Process Of What You're Doing, Of How You Are Building And Exploring The Character.
