You better get as much work as you can now because, once you get over 40, it’s over.

I had a book that was given to me as a kid that was called 'Faeries.' It was this dark, sinister book with pictures that used to scare me because they were these creepy little creatures. But, I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff.

I love female-driven drama, and those kinds of characters. I really love complex women.

The biggest challenge is the chaos of parenthood, which has honestly been such a welcome challenge - bring it on, I say!

Doing something completely different than acting for awhile is really important.

When I started in the business, years ago, people would always say, "You better get as much work as you can now because, once you get over 40, it's over." I don't see that with TV. Maybe it's because I am getting older, but the kinds of roles I'm drawn to are more mature roles.
