" Interviewed By Cal Fussman, October 31, 2013 A lot of men are afraid of redheads. There&amp;#039;s not that many\u2014and we&amp;#039;re different. My mother was the center of attention. She just wanted to be where it was going on in every way. I&amp;#039;m much more laid-back. When I became famous, I felt in a little way that I&amp;#039;d caught up. But I never really did. You could never catch up to my mother. Most men are most comfortable with brunettes. Brunettes aren&amp;#039;t gonna run away from them; they&amp;#039;re not gonna leave. Men worry that a redhead will. Which is ridiculous! &amp;#039;Cause if I&amp;#039;m with you, I&amp;#039;m with you for a darn good reason, and I&amp;#039;m staying there. Everything Lee Strasberg said was important. He&amp;#039;d pick up your arm and see if\u2014and how\u2014it would drop to determine the level of relaxation in your body and spirit. He&amp;#039;d say, &amp;quot;Make a sound.&amp;quot; Some people would start to laugh and that would sometimes turn to tears. You didn&amp;#039;t have to be sad\u2014it all came from deep relaxation. I learned a lot from Lee about deep relaxation to get at something you were working toward. And then I found myself on Gilligan&amp;#039;s Island, where somebody&amp;#039;s telling you, &amp;quot;Go to the right.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Go to the left.&amp;quot; That was an adjustment. Gilligan&amp;#039;s Island is what it is, and I am who I am. Milk products really clog you up and create a lot of mucus in your body. So I look at them as poisons. The most special roses I ever got were mauve. I&amp;#039;m not that shy. I was never really afraid of nudity in a movie. But nothing came up where I thought it was important to do something like that. It&amp;#039;s hard to get a good part. Age is not a number. Some people are way older than others who are the same numerical age because of the way they carry themselves, because of the way they don&amp;#039;t stand up straight, or the way their bellies stick out. I don&amp;#039;t think you should label people with numbers. I love being part of the Academy. I try to see everything on the big screen. I see about two films a week. I don&amp;#039;t eat popcorn. I loathe it when people are eating popcorn in a movie house. I&amp;#039;m used to concentrating on a film in very quiet places. You&amp;#039;ve got to get yourself in the proper state of mind to be useful to the universe. I&amp;#039;ve been volunteering since 1996. I work with first graders in a very sweet public school. There was one child who, after a while, told me she was missing her daddy. &amp;quot;Well, where is he?&amp;quot; I asked. She said, &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s in a big house.&amp;quot; Then I sort of knew. I asked if he wrote to her, and she said yes. So I got her a nice little box of stationery. Such a cute child, but she never smiled. Never, ever smiled. At the end of the school year, I told her I was so looking forward to seeing her again. And this little girl said, &amp;quot;I love you.&amp;quot; She didn&amp;#039;t smile. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
