I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.
I thought it was very important that femininity wasn't lost.
I always wanted to go against hat grain because it was too restricting.
You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!
I was tired of playing the goodie-two-shoes.
I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.
