There Is A Certain Androgyny To My

I'd Never Say I'll Never Have A Facelift, But I'm Way Too Scared Of Looking Like A Different Person. I Have No Philosophical Or Political Position On Plastic Surgery; I Just Don't Want To Look Crazy. And I Don't Like Not Being Able To Tell How Old Someone Is: It's Creepy.

Skinniness Is Not Your Friend When You're Over 40. I'd Like To Gain A Good 10 Pounds, But I Did Always Have A Fat, Round Face That Plagued Me When I Was Young. When I Started To Make Movies, I Couldn't Look At Myself.

The More Powerful You Become, Some People Especially Don't Like It That You're A Woman. I Stick Up For Myself.

I Remember My First Friend Who Got Sick. It Was 1981, And The Disease Was Called The Gay Cancer. I Don't Think The Word 'aids' Came Out Until '84. I Just Remember It Being Terrifying As More People Got Sick. We Didn't Know How You Could Catch It, You Heard All Kinds Of Crazy Things.

I Studied Acting For 10 Years Before I Went For An Audition. I Studied With Lee Strasberg And Actors Studio Teachers, And Went To The High School Of Performing Arts.
