Helen Rachel Schlacter Quotes

• [on her performance in ‘Sticky Fingers’ (1988)] One of the ways Melanie and I prepared for our roles was to invent clown characters. My clown’s name was ‘Colleen,’ which we changed to ‘Caullie Flower,’ and Melanie’s clown was ‘Little Mellie Joy.’ There’s an actual specific formula to doing clown work. You have the authority figure and the clown, and what ‘clown’ means to both Melanie and I is that you’re on the wire. That’s the beauty of the art of the clown… that they’re so open, all the way.
• [on her character “Mary” in No Way Back (1995)] Mary . . . is a chatty, loopy, quirky flight attendant who doesn’t understand all that’s going on around her. She realizes the situation soon enough and perceives Yuji is innocent, but she knows that Zack is also in a terrible conflict with his son. Yet she questions him: Why is he doing this? How can he take this guy [Yuji] to his death? Mary wises up very quickly.
• [on her teen years] I was terribly gawky–too goofy to become a high-kicking cheerleader–with stringy brown hair and bad posture. Definitely nobody noticeable!
• [about her character “Christy Wills” in The Secret of My Succe$s (1987)] At first I wanted her to appear more military-like, wearing more blue and the like, but then Herb [director Herbert Ross] told me to have her display more female qualities, which turned out to be right because we could then see she was more apt to being both an executive and a woman.
• [on looking at herself in the home-made Supergirl costume she wore to her audition] I looked at myself in the mirror and I thought, “I look like such a jackass”.
• [on facing mid-life crisis] I can’t speak for all women, but I do think that . . . I mean, me and my girlfriends, we definitely . . . we’re in crisis on a continuous basis . . . or at least monthly, for sure, I don’t know. It’s funny because we just bust ourselves! We go to therapy, we eat right, we stay away from caffeine, we try to have loving relationships with our mothers and more communication with our fathers, and still the black abyss will open up!
