I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.

A Woman Under the Influence was my favorite. I loved doing that. And it was challenging.

I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, which was in Carnegie Hall, which itself was exciting - just to walk into it.

It was a period when live TV was just starting and getting popular and they took it seriously too. Not so much like TV now. They did Hemingway and Faulkner - and they’re all wonderful artists and it just was very creative at that time.

Of course I would change anything if John Cassavetes said so - it's his script. But he was very easy about that.

I just loved Bette Davis and the fact that I had a chance to work with her [on the 1979 TV movie Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter] was momentous.
