If A Film Is Well Made, Then

What's Great Is My Parents Aren't Stuck In The '60s. My Dad Is So Into The Culture Of Today.

When I Met Johnny, I Was Pure Virgin. He Changed That. He Was My First Everything. My First Real Kiss. My First Real Boyfriend. My First Fiancé. The First Guy I Had Sex With. So He'll Always Be In My Heart. Forever. Kind Of Funny That Word.

You Do A Movie If It's Good And If You Want To Do It. It Doesn't Matter If It's Small Or Big Or Expensive Or Cheap. If You Want To Say The Words, You're Gonna Say Them. You Can't Strategize.

Actors Do These Really Gross, Gun-'em-down Movies, And I Always Wonder Why. They're Not Good Movies. And It's Like, "why Are You Doing Them? Aren't You Rich Enough?"

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.
