It's very bizarre though when you get hired and then the director will say, "I know how this goes." And you're thinking, "Wait a minute, I thought that I was doing this" but basically what they really want, especially if they wrote it, is they want you to do it as they imagined it. It's virtually impossible.

As an actor you become that lighting rod between the person who made the play and the audience.

You never forget how to dance. It's just a matter of your bones working and things like that.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.

I play so many villains and strange, troubled people. I don't have that kind of life. I live in the country. I've been married nearly 50 years. I have a cat.

Older actors, and women in particular, are getting more opportunities. It pleases me, its very good news for us. They say that people are living longer, and maybe it's just that there's more of us out there.

I live sort of in the country and I like that. It's very quiet, it's beautiful.
