-: I got to work with Julia Roberts a couple time,
like I say, Brad Pitt.
I got to work with Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott,
Jack Lemmon twice actually,
and Shirley MacLaine and Dolly Parton.
And it's just been such,
you just meet the most amazing people,
and when you find out that they're really nice people,
that's even more amazing.
Not all of them are, but a lot of times you just go,
"Wow, what a..."
I mean Dolly Parton used to,
we were lighting "Steel Magnolias"
and she would just bring in her guitar
and sit on the stage singing and playing guitar
while everybody's lighting the set.
When do you ever have that happen?
It is not for the faint of heart.
Some of the personalities.
I feel, I used to laugh.
I used to say 90% of my job
was just helping other people get along and work things out.
Going to this department saying, "What do you need?
and communicating it to other people,
because they're got doing the communication themselves.
The hours too.
I didn't have kids.
I don't know how anybody can have kids
and work in this business.
My first job I was working,
I was getting four hours sleep at night
on "Hill Street Blues".
That part is really...
Which is another reason I really like features
when you're doing a TV series,
you're working a lot of times for nine months
and that is just exhausting,
at least with a feature you work
insanely hard for four months or five months
depending on the feature.
And then you can take a little break
before you figure out what the next job is gonna be.
Some people would find not knowing what you're doing...
I can't ever make plans for a trip three months
ahead of time.
I don't know what my situation's gonna be.
So that part's hard.
That other people would consider that hard.
I personally can not imagine being in the same job
longer than half a year (laughs).
