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.

It's Like Construction, And Then, Yes, You Hope You're Talented And That The Universe Aligns And Captures The Kind Of Laborer's Work You've Done And Whatever Else Sprinkles Down On You, And It's All Caught On Film Or Onstage.

I Was Trained By Method Acting Teachers And We Were Taught That Aside From Whatever Gift You May Or May Not Have Or The Level Of That Gift, That You Were Obliged To Know How To Build A Table. It's A Craft. It's Like Being A Ballerina Or A Violinist.

There's No Slow Build Anymore Where You Get A Little Part, Then You Get A Little Better Part, Then A Better Part, Until One Day Your Agent Calls You Us And Says, 'guess What, You're A Movie Star,' And You Say, 'thank You!'
