Caitriona Balfe, who is Irish, is also in my movie. I asked her to play her Irish accent in the movie, but her own brogue is so faint that I had to keep pumping it up.

People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.

Ninety-five percent of women's experiences are about being a victim. Or about being an underdog, or having to survive... women didn't go to Vietnam and blow things up. They are not Rambo.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.

So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
