You Have Good Days And Bad Days,

When I Was Young, I Was Really, Really Obsessed With Gena Rowlands And John Cassavetes. Because My Mom Was A Projectionist In College, She Was Somehow Able To Get A Real Projector. And She Had Some Connections, So She Would Get Real Prints, And We'd Put Up A Sheet. The First Movies I Saw Were To Kill A Mockingbird [1962], Gigi [1958], A Woman Under The Influence [1974]. Then When I Was Old Enough To Be Able To Rent Movies, I Went Through A Very Big Cassavetes Phase.

I'm The Type Who'd Rather Not Work Than Work On Something I'm Not Into. I've Done That A Couple Of Times, And I Feel Like I Can Totally See It In My Performance.

I'd Always Find The Positive In Someone.

I Think I'm Learning To Be Bolder In My Career Choices And Be More Confident In My Personal Life. I Haven't Always Felt Very Secure As An Individual, But Now I Feel I Certain Confidence And Sense Of Self That Gets Me Through The Day A Lot Better Than Before.

I Remember Realizing, When I Did Little Women [1994], That That Was The Only Time Girls That Age Were Being Written About. It Was Always Boys - From David Copperfield To Lord Of The Flies To Holden Caulfield. There Were Never Young Women Going Through Adolescence Or Teen Years; There Were Only Little Girls.
