Back then, it was more or less we couldn't change a line in our script. We weren't allowed to change lines. Today, actors change everything and won't do parts. It's very different today. Back then, the producers were in charge. Today actors are more in charge. ↗

I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first. ↗

I've never let producers tell me what to do. Even when I was making television, I always did what I wanted to do, and if I couldn't, I didn't do it. It was a freedom that, these days, young directors starting out don't have. ↗

What I always meant by that was that I do believe that a lot of directors, and writers, and sometimes producers just lose their edge because they haven't seen anybody or talked to anybody or been with anybody who isn't a kind of replica of themselves for a long period of time. ↗

Most people want to become movie stars and I just want to be in the business. I already was a star. If I get the part of a lifetime and it blows up, then that's wonderful. But if the acting doesn't work, fine. I'll just be a producer. And if the producing doesn't work, fine. I've got a lot of other stuff. ↗

Jerry Weintraub, the producer, might be a pain in the ass, but he really knows how to treat his actors. ↗

The slapdash way producers used to assemble a show seems a little unbelievable when we talk about them now. ↗

I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers. ↗

I love to improvise when it's appropriate and encouraged by a producer. ↗

You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye. ↗
