For Ripley I Learned To

The Very First Big Photo Shoot I Ever Did Was With Bruce Weber. I Couldn't Believe This Guy Was Taking My Picture, So When He Told Me To Get In The Bathtub, I Just Did. It's Only Now, Looking Back, That I Realise, You Don't Have To Do Everything People Tell You.

History Is Change Happening One Person At A Time.

Being Known As A Writer Did Change The Relationships I Had With Directors. The Rap On Actors Is That They Always Want To Inflate Their Parts. But When Directors Know You Write Screenplays And Have A Different View Of Things, You Really Get Invited Into The Huddle In A Much Fuller Way. And Those Collaborations End In Friendships.

The Whole Thrust Of Theatre Is Different, Just Because The Writing Is So Much More Respected In A Play. Whereas In Movies - And Having Been The Writer, I Can Say From Experience - The Writer Is Lower Down On The Food Chain.

Life Is On The Wire. The Rest Is Just Waiting.
