My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the '50s and '60s and '70s.

I mean I would still love to be in Mel Brooks' movies; he's great.

I'm used to watching old movies of myself.

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.

Social Note: I have sought escape in the Prytania on more than one occasion, pulled by the attractions of some technicolored horrors, filmed abortions that were offenses against any criteria of taste and decency, reels and reels of perversion and blasphemy that stunned my disbelieving eyes, the shocked my virginal mind, and sealed my valve.

I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal.
