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

He[John Cassavetes] was just being an actor. A very successful actor, especially in live TV. He did many wonderful performances.

Paddy Chayefksy was writing and it was a time where everybody was happy to be there [on TV].

I loved Bette Davis when I was little and when I was big and when I got old.

I read the script of [Woman Under the Influence ] 50 times. And I thought about it. And then I did it.

Of course, much easier to do a film when you're doing an extremely emotional part than it is doing it onstage over and over especially.

Never in my life have I ever even thought about anything else [ being anything other than an actress].
