Dustin Hoffman // "I said, 'You have me looking like a woman, now make me a beautiful woman.' Because I thought I should be beautiful... And they said to me, 'That's as good as it gets.' It was at that moment I had an epiphany, and I went home and started crying... I said I have to make this picture...because I think I am an interesting woman when I look at myself on screen. And I know that if I met myself at a party, I would never talk to that character because she doesn't fulfill physically the demands that we're brought up to think women have to have... There's too many interesting women I have not had the experience to know in this life because I have been brainwashed."
