Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.

I consider myself a character actress, and that's working out. I'm getting chances to do things. I like the process - I don't want to pretend I'm something other than what I am.

Being around people with whom you feel a connection, on many levels, not just a professional one, is very relaxing. Your ears are more open to someone who is not a cantankerous bastard.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.

At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

I work hard, and I tend to play hard. I very seldom rest hard.
