Two months later at a party, Bernard pulled me into a closet and proposed. I said yes.
From Shelley Duvall
In Houston everyone owns guns and uses 'em - sometimes just for the hell of it.
We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.
Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning.
I don't know if I was a desirable person, not just physically but emotionally and mentally and intellectually. I still have a long way go and a lot to learn, but I'm on my way, I don't think I'm terribly attractive, but I'm comfortable with my looks.
But most of what I've learned about acting - and a lot of what I've learned about life in the past seven years - was taught to me by Robert Altman.
When I'd finished, everybody said they wanted me for this movie. At first I thought they meant a nudie flick since an awful lot of nudies are made in Houston.
For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows.
And of course, now that Bernard and I have found each other forever, we're determined to create our own little world in order to survive the one we're in.
Acting in films hasn't changed me. I feel exactly the same.
