It depends on who your director is. Doing a t.v. show is an art in itself. Movies, it really depends on your director, I think. That's why Bob Altman is so prominent in my life. He would let you experiment. He said to me the first day, "I want everybody to come to the dailies." I, like a lot of performers, hate to watch myself. I feel very self-conscious.I could have done that better or dah dah dah. I never listen to my recordings. I just don't, because I feel oh, that could have been, or that could have been. But with Bob, I had such confidence. He chose songs that I wouldn't have chosen.Rather, Hal Willner, who was the musical director, he chose the material. I looked on it as a challenge, because the music that was chosen wouldn't have necessarily been my choice, but I did what I had to do. Bob insisted that everybody go to the dailies. But he made it more like a party. There was all this food. There was drinks. We'd all sit down and watch. Kathryn is incredible, Bob Altman's wife. She knows innumerable musicians, and she gets it, which is what I say about people who don't like my singing. "You don't get it."
