[on the lack of good roles for women and of good films in general] It’s all economics now. With movies it’s always been a tricky business combining art and finances, but when they spend 30 million dollars on ONE movie, the mind boggles. It’s just absolutely ridiculous! Alost everyone seems to desire more real, more decent, more believable movies. That’s why most people watch old movies on television. At the moment the sure-fire things are disaster, pornography, and violence; I suppose men fit into those categories better than women.
