Wait a minute. I don't need to keep proving myself. I don't need to keep showing up at every party.

Mike Nichols asked if I would do The Birdcage. Mike and I are dear friends but he had never offered me a feature role in a movie. My television career opened other doors for me

Why would I lose sleep when I really need valuable sleep just to recuperate and come back and do my job?

It's a great time to be an actress at this point in my life.

Jim Carrey is a consummate actor and professional. He comes on set, knows his lines and knows his moves

I'm a nice, happily married wife and mom and I live in Connecticut.

You are always damned by things that you do well as an actor.
