I once referred to Duckshoot as an actress but she was quick to take offense.
She said, "I'm an actor. There's no difference between a male actor and female
actor."

I asked her if that means she'd stand true to her principles and turn down an
Emmy or an Oscar for Best Actress should she ever be awarded one. I was given
the "But that's different!" stare of annoyance.
