The Older You Get, The More Yourself You Can Be And The Less Worried You Are About What Other People Think.

I'm Not A Big One On - I Don't Know What To Call It - Getting All Glamorous. I Don't Really Worry About My Looks, And I Don't Worry About Getting Old. Exterior Beauty Doesn't Mean A Lot To Me.

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.

Bette Davis, She Was So Brilliant And One Of My Heroes, But She Worked A Ton, And Then She Didn't Get All About Eve [1950] Until The Last Minute. Claudette Colbert Was Supposed To Be Margo Channing, But Then She Broke Her Back And Couldn't Do It. That Allowed Davis To Play Her Age.
