I've been working on this feature script for Master Class, a play by Terrence McNally that won a lot of Tonys.

Do you know what I'm working on now? My first feature as a director.

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

It's true, I did a lot of great movies, and I'm happy. It was what it was, and now I think all of that has fed into where I am now, and I think it has taught me a lot.

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.

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