I'm Not A Drug User Myself. I'm

Bette Davis, She Was So Brilliant And One Of My Heroes, But She Worked A Ton, And Then She Didn't Get All About Eve [1950] Until The Last Minute. Claudette Colbert Was Supposed To Be Margo Channing, But Then She Broke Her Back And Couldn't Do It. That Allowed Davis To Play Her Age.

How I Was Raised Was, There Were No Rules - Nothing Like That. If I Wanted To Take A Drug Because I Was In School And Everybody Was Doing It, I Could Go To My Parents And Say, "i Really Want To Try This." And They'd Say, "if You Do This, O.k., But This Is What Can Happen To You..." They'd Say, "don't Get It In The Streets, Because It Could Be Really Bad And Make You Freak Out. Don't Take It In A Crowded Place, Because You'll Panic."

The Older You Get, The More Yourself You Can Be And The Less Worried You Are About What Other People Think.

A Lot Of Filmmakers And Actors Say, "it's So Important To Bring An Authenticity To The Role," Blah, Blah, Blah. But Then It's Interesting Because You're Also Trying To Be Somebody Else, And Viewers Are Going To Associate You With That, So I Don't Think It Really Has An Answer.

Bette Davis In All About Eve Was Huge For Me. Her Acting Was Staggering.
