Greatest interview ever.

"If there's ever a woman who's smart, funny, or witty, people are
afraid of that, so they don't write that. They only write parts for
women where they let everything be steamrolled over them, where they
let people wipe their feet all over them." —Teri Garr [A.V. Club]

"I think what Dustin says is, I realize now how important it is for a
woman to be pretty. And I wasn't pretty. God! That's all you realized?
Jesus Christ. Oh well. Don't quote me. Actually, quote me." —Teri Garr
on the message of Tootsie [A.V. Club]

"I thought that [Sandy] was caught between trying to have a career and
trying to be a sexual woman, and it just doesn't work. At least it
didn't in that movie, because it was made by sexist men. I can say
that now, because Sydney [Pollack] isn't with us anymore. [Laughs.]
But he was a fine director." —Teri Garr on her role in Tootsie [A.V.
Club]

"He just wanted the beautiful, blond, cute, shiksa girls to be nice
and shut the fuck up! [Laughs.] God, I'm bad. But that's what he
wanted." —Teri Garr on Sydney Pollack [A.V. Club]

"She's actually a nice girl. She's got her own problems, being married
to that playwright." —Teri Garr on Jessica Lange [A.V. Club]

"No. It's a bomb!" —Teri Garr on whether One From the Heart should be
rediscovered [A.V. Club]

"Francis wanted it to be a woman's point of view. This was an Italian
guy — a humorless Italian guy. Oh, I shouldn't say that. He's got
humor. Anyway, he wanted a woman's point of view, but I don't think he
had a clue. But he's a smart guy." —Teri Garr on Francis Ford Coppola
[A.V. Club]

"I think it was actually very derivative of this artist at the time
who was making underground films, Bruce Conner. He would make these
films with cartoons, atom bombs, and stuff that were really quite
interesting and metaphorical, about orgasms and stuff. So they copied
that. I wouldn't say 'copied.' That's a bad word. Plagiarized? No,
that's a worse word." —Teri Garr on Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson's
Head [A.V. Club]

"I remember when we did our first read-through, Sonny [Bono] looks at
the script and he goes, 'Okay, I'll see you guys later. Chai-ay-oh!'
And I said, 'It's ciao! Aren't you Italian? C-i-a-o doesn't spell chai-
ay-oh.' [Laughs.] Sonny's dead, so he won't be embarrassed if I tell
that story." —Teri Garr [A.V. Club]

"I did a string of about six or seven Elvis movies, all in a row. He
made all of those movies in two years' time. All of them bad. Don't
quote me." [Interviewer: "Really?"] "No, quote me. It's not a secret
that they were bad." —Teri Garr [A.V. Club]
