• When I was young, I was really, really obsessed with Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes. Because my mom was a projectionist in college, she was somehow able to get a real projector. And she had some connections, so she would get real prints, and we'd put up a sheet. The first movies I saw were To Kill a Mockingbird 1962, Gigi 1958, A Woman Under the Influence 1974. Then when I was old enough to be able to rent movies, I went through a very big Cassavetes phase.
