I could never have conceived that I would ever get to work in a Truffaut film. It was astonishing to me, and still is. I felt like an old pro, but it was still so unexpected.

My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things.

I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.

If people choose to judge how you look, that's their situation. I didn't feel that it was a problem. I've played all kinds of parts. I've played glamorous, and unglamorous, and all kinds of people. People want to pigeon hole you, I think.

I have never given up on men easily.

Working with Candy Bergen was really wonderful.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.
