I Had A Deliberate Plan

My Parents Are Both From Vermont, Very Old-fashioned New England. We Heated Our House With Wood My Father Chopped. My Mom Grew All Of Our Food. We Were Very Underexposed To Everything.

After A Couple Of Rehearsals And A Couple Of Takes, Sydney Pollack Says, "come Here. Why Are You Not Nervous?" And I [say], "do You Think It Would Be Better If I Was Nervous?" And He Says, "no, It's Just I Can't Understand It - How You Would Be First Time On A Set, You're Acting, When He Flubs His Line You Make Up A New Line. It's Very Interesting." It's Not That I Think I'm Great; That's What I Knew I Wanted To Do.

Obviously, Movies Don't Almost Ever Shoot In Sequence.

Something's Like Crossed Over In Me And I Can't Go Back. I Couldn't Live.

I Always Want A Challenge. My Whole Career Has Been Based On Trying To Avoid Female Characters That Don't Get To Do Anything. And It's Really Hard To Avoid Those.
