[Betty in Two Evil Eyes]was my very first on-camera role. With Harvey Keitel.

As an actor, it made me realize a really important lesson. I didn't have to put any spin on the ball as Rita [in Dexter]. All I had to do was speak. And there was such simplicity in that as an actor. With Debra, I was trying to put a square peg into a round hole, and it just didn't work, but in my mind, because I had to work so hard on it, I was, like, "Oh, this is acting!" But that's not acting.

I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.

I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband.

I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.

You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.

I still have people coming up to me, and it was, what, six or seven years ago when that finale aired? And they tell me who they were watching with, what their emotional reaction was, and how they were devastated for weeks about [Rita's death in Dexter].
