Marian Seldes

I know I'm funny, because I'm eccentric, I'm odd. I'm not what you expect.

I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.

I've never been obsessed by how I looked. In fact, I would rather have looked more ordinary so I could play more parts more truthfully.

Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.

You have to be forward-moving and able to balance a lot of things at the same time. I attribute a lot of that to the Marine Corps and Juilliard both.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
