If the First Amendment means anything it means that a state has no business telling a man sitting alone in his house what books he may read or what films he may watch.

I think all writers of my age who are brought up on films probably by the age of 16 have seen many more films than they have read classics of literature. We can't help but be influenced by film. Film has got some great tricks that it's taught writers.

TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary with independent films you just can't.
