As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.

My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.

Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

The audience is the barometer of the truth.

A large part of me is pure nebbish - plain, dull, uninteresting. There's a more flamboyant part, too. Obviously.

I never sing in the shower either.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. But a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.
