Mary Steenburgen

I'd already made the decision before I'd even read it-just because it was John Sayles. Then when I read it, the themes were actually themes that have been a big part of my life.

It's usually, my people speak to your people and then they speak around each other and trade calls for weeks.

Christopher Lloyd was actually the first person - or certainly one of the first few - who ever spoke to me on film.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
