My last kids were born when I was in my forties, so I still had little kids around me, which gave me the illusion of feeling younger.

I just feel that no matter what comes in a career - and mine has been all over the map - you must stay at the table, pick up the cards you're dealt and play them.

It's also easy to fall back into what's familiar, what feels safe, what you've done before.

At this point in my career, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with an actor my age who has chosen to do really awful things, and he will get a job over me.

I always signed autographs when I could and always stayed and chatted with them when I could.

And the test for any actor is whether you stay at the table or go away.

Revelations come when you're in the thick of it, pitting yourself up against something larger than yourself
