When I Read A Film Script, I

I Just Felt Like I Had To Create A Life For Myself Where I Was More Independent.

When I Was In My 20s And 30s, There Was Such A Variety And Diversity Of Types Of Films That You Could See. So Many Of Them Were Really More About The Human Condition And About Relationships Between People, And They Were Smaller Films That Had A Much Greater Impact On Me As A Human Being.

There Is A Difference When You Work With Actors Who Have Worked On The Stage. When We're Out There In Front Of An Audience Eight Times A Week, You Can't Do It On Your Own.

In The Theater, Actors Are The Essential Element Of The Work. In A Film, It's A Real Collaboration - Not That Theater Isn't, Because It Is - But It's A Collaboration To Such An Extent That You Can Give A Performance In Film That Sometimes You Look At And You Go, "well, That's Not The Performance I Was Trying To Give At All."

I'm From A Generation Of Fantastic Actresses. It's A Big Pool Of Really Wonderful Actresses, And So Many Of Them We Never Even Get To See On The Screen Anymore.
