If I have something I like to forget, then I forget it.

I only watch my movies that I make once, so I can just see how it hangs together, but after that, I don't watch them again. A lot of people have disappeared from Earth that you've worked with, and they make me sort of sad once in a while, and there's really no necessity for me to watch them. I've made them, and it's on film and that's that.

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

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

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

It was a very hard play [Woman Under the Influence] to do every night. And John Cassavetes said, "Don't worry. Don't even think about it, you're right. I hadn't thought of that." He said, "Just forget it."

[John Cassavetes] came backstage afterwards and introduced himself and we talked a bit, and then went for a little coffee at the Russian Tea Room next door. It just...started.
