I Got To Work With Gena Rowlands

I Binge-watched This Show Damages. Glenn Close And Rose Byrne Are So Good. Lily Tomlin Is In It. You See All These Great Actors And The Writing Is Terrific. There Are A Lot Of Shows Like That. And There Are All These Conversations Right Now About Roles For Women And Being Paid Equally And All Of That, But I Think What It Really Is, Is Opportunity.

Even Though I Never Really Had To Pound The Pavement As An Actor, I Always Worked Really Hard. But, At The Same Time, I Always Felt Like People Thought That I Didn't Have To Struggle Even Though I Was Struggling.

I Love My Job. But All The Stuff That Comes With It, The Thought Of Being Propelled Into The Limelight Again Is Not Something I Sit Around And Fantasize About, Certainly. I'd Much Rather Just Do My Work, And Then Go Home And Read My Books And Watch Movies.

When I Was Young, I Was Really, Really Obsessed With Gena Rowlands And John Cassavetes. Because My Mom Was A Projectionist In College, She Was Somehow Able To Get A Real Projector. And She Had Some Connections, So She Would Get Real Prints, And We'd Put Up A Sheet. The First Movies I Saw Were To Kill A Mockingbird [1962], Gigi [1958], A Woman Under The Influence [1974]. Then When I Was Old Enough To Be Able To Rent Movies, I Went Through A Very Big Cassavetes Phase.

I'm Not Into Older Guys. To Tell You The Truth, Richard Gere Is Not The Sexiest Man Alive, In My Book.
