The interesting movies can definitely still be made but on a very small scale. The idea of putting that many resources to a story that might only make a certain amount of money is not what the studios want. They want movies that will move the stock price or justify giving up one of their tentpole slots.

“I tried to get in the theatre department”, she says, “but it was full.” After graduation, however, she moved to Los Angeles and landed a number of small roles in films such as Jerry Maguire (1996). “Then I got the chance to audition for The West Wing (1999) and I got the part”, she says.

[on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)] In the back of my mind I kept thinking, “I’m fighting Arnold [Arnold Schwarzenegger] and I’ve got to be naked in front of the world.” So that was enough incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and work out constantly in my gym and my trailer because of the “birthing” scene, as I call it.

[on his first return to Saturday Night Live (1975)] I’m not sure exactly why or how, but [during that episode] suddenly I got into a fight with Bill Murray. I discovered later it was with the instigation of John Belushi, who apparently was a little bit jealous that I had become the standout guy the first year, when John [felt he] deserved to. And he did; John was our ringer. But television doesn’t care too much about ringers who are short and have a beard. Somehow they took to the tall, thin, handsome guy.

If you watch Two and a Half Men (2003), please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I’m on Two and a Half Men, and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth. People say it’s just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.

I always thought I’d go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I’m still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.

Molly C. Quinn

Born: October 8, 1993 in Texarkana, Texas, USA

[on her on- and off-screen relationship with Susan Sullivan, who plays Martha Rodgers]: Susan is such a classy lady. She’s so different from her character. In real life, she’s very intelligent… She’s a free thinker. She has a lot of really good advice and she has a really good head on her shoulders. She’s seen a lot, she’s done a lot, she knows a lot. Her character Martha, to me at least… thinks that she knows everything, but doesn’t really know much. Martha was probably brought up in a ritzy home and was a victim of the ’60s.

[on his breakout role as Crocodile Dundee] The movie scene is screaming out for the movie hero who doesn’t kill 75 people… less of those commandos, terminators, ex-terminators and squashers. Mick’s a good role model. There’s no malice in the fellow and he’s human. He’s not a wimp or a sissy just because he doesn’t kill people.

I’ve lost a lot of roles because of my height. I’m 6 feet 3 inches in heels. Producers are short and I was never their sexual fantasy. As for actors, if I enter a room and an actor stands up then immediately gets self-conscious and sits back down, I hear myself saying, “This job isn’t for me.” I once offered to paint my shoes on my bare feet to get one part because it made me appear shorter.
