I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

When you're a woman in your 40s, it's not the best time to do films, because there really aren't that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.

So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.

I moved to LA and decided to do films and television, mainly because the theater in New York is totally dead.

Men are allowed to get older and women are not.
