Your new movie, You Hurt My Feelings, centers on a novelist having a crisis of confidence after she overhears a scathing critique by her husband. Is there a piece of negative criticism that’s stuck with you?

Despite their big argument in the film, your character, Beth, and her husband seem to have a healthy relationship. You’ve been married for 36 years. What’s the secret to a lasting union?
I think there’s an element of luck involved. You have to, in my case, marry the right guy. People ask me this and I don’t really know what to say! I just really enjoy his company.
