Gena Rowlands

I love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.

I always do make a back story for myself, but I'm not sure how necessary it is. I just like to.

The thing about acting is you don't want to let on how enjoyable it is or then everybody would want to become an actress. But it really is. It's a pleasure to go and exchange your identity.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I've always seen movies in English with Spanish subtitles. For audiences around the world, the language is less important than if it's a good film.
