I am an actress and acting is my passion... period!

When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.

I would take up any small job on the sets, just so that I could hang around with the hope of getting noticed.

Its only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons!

Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular.
