The simple fact of existence, of being aware that you are aware; this to me is the most astounding fact.

I know what I love about acting - and it's the creative process

You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.

I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.

The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out
