TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.

It was easier to do Shakespeare than a lot of modern movie scripts that are so poorly written.

This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.

It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.

I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.

The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.

I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.
