I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.

I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.

Well, softness and femininity like yours people don't expect of me; so when they find me emotional and capable of real vulnerability, they're surprised.

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

Since Star Wars, that film's success led to bigger budgets, more hardware, that the great movies like the ones I did, which were studio movies, are now independent movies. They range from half a million to several million, and a lot of those have very interesting roles.
