My goal was not to be famous or rich but to be good at what I did. And that required going to New York and studying and working in the theater.
There's a great difference between being popular and being an artist.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
I'm writing a book and working on my one-woman show, Learning To Be Human.
I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.
I got an agent and went up for the part of my first film, Five Gates to Hell.
