I'm an actor. I'm hired to play whatever it is they want me to play - if I'm lucky enough to be cast for the part - which seems to take a lot of luck these days.
If a guy works, and he has children, it's good, and he doesn't feel the same guilt about not being there for the children as a woman would. With a woman, there's that pull: 'Oh, I should be home,' when she's at work, and 'Oh, I should be at work,' when she's at home.
Everybody in L.A. has a screenplay. The guy pumping your gas has a screenplay.

The women executives in the film industry have the power to say, 'No,' but few of them have the power to say, 'Yes.'
You are what you drive in L.A.
I co-wrote and produced 'Sticky Fingers' with Catlin Adams, who directed it. I learned a lot writing and producing with Cat. I spent as much time as I could in the cutting room with her. All the producing experience that I had helped.
I know so many women, comic geniuses. Where are the parts?
