00:08Shut up.
00:21What was your first big success in Hollywood?
00:25Rejection.
00:30Well, it was. And finally I did Five Easy Pieces. I had to read for it. And then I wasn't hired.
00:42And then I got into it because they didn't find another actress to do it.
00:48Fantastic that you could figure that all out and lie that down on her so you could come up with a way to get your toast. Fantastic.

01:12Actually, Sam Shepard is the best. He was my buddy.
01:16What is the best celebrity interaction that happened at Helena's?
01:21Well, mostly kicking out people that were not a member.

01:40And did they leave?
01:43Yeah, they were afraid of me.

02:13And she's great.
02:14I moved next door to the house I had jacked by.
02:19So we had a good time together.
02:20We'd cook together.
02:22We'd fight together.
02:25We did everything together.
02:28She's a good woman.
02:30That's all my questions.
02:32Yippee!
