This actress named Lisa Eilbacher. I was up for the part in Shampoo and friends of mine kept telling me she was going around saying all these bad things about me. It's like we're still in the sixth grade sometimes.

If some gang were threatening your family, you'd go looking for someone butch to help, right? Any maybe if your mother were sick or something, you'd find someone a bit more fey.

No motive is pure. No one is good or bad-but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life actually gives to you by taking away.

My mother's career was over at 40 but she was still trying to be everyone's buddy, always smiling for the cameras.

I always think of Meryl [Streep] for everything now. There really aren't many actresses around who are truly lucid the way she is.

I am not going to put my daughter under any sort of stresses.

My mother certainly loves caviar, but I think that's generational - they grew up thinking it's romantic or sophisticated or something.
