I started working in the mid-to-late Seventies, when television was not what it is now.

I thought I'd never do film, let alone television. I was a diehard theater nut.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

I've done a lot of TV, but not film.

I started making movies in 1977, and I didn't even think about the idea that I would ever be on a television show. Once I finished the 'Guiding Light,' I was like, 'I'm done with television!'

I did a lot of ridiculous television. Between 1980 and '85 I had no confidence, so I did everything I was told to do.

I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.

I haven't had television since 1991, and it definitely influences me. As a child of the 1970s, I couldn't hold a narrative in my head; I was lucky if I could hold a joke in my head, because every time you turn on television or radio, it wipes the slate clean - at least in my case.

I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's.
