A film like Genevieve to my contemporaries is not a film made years ago, but last week or last year. They see me as I was then, not as I am now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While making Genevieve, I learned there could be a lot more to a film than just acting in it.
Until Genevieve I had tended towards the more dramatic type of role.
I'm always surprised when some director says, 'When I saw this film, that changed my life.' I don't have that.
As an actress, I think it's important to look back and realize that we aren't always quite as original as we think we are. There's this grand, textured history for us over the last 100 years of incredible writers, directors, and performers.
So I regard my part in Genevieve as a real challenge.
You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.
But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.
My films are completely new. I am not similar to anybody in the history of movies.
I still haven't made a film that defines who I am.
You know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.
