It was never about sort of being famous. I just wanted to be good at what I did.

I made a living being a background singer for years.

To be shapely when you're in the seventh grade is not exactly what everyone's looking for, or they weren't then, as someone was telling me the other day. now, that's like a really great thing to do, to be, but then it wasn't.

It's a conversation that nobody really likes to have, and it seems that we never can get to a solution with it and something horrific happens. We all stand back and say, "How could we let that happen?" and then it goes away and we move on.

I didn't actually begin professionally acting until I was 30.

The reason people are watching women in their mid-fifties is because a lot of those women feel great and have different, interesting stories to tell.

I do tend to play characters that have a lot of costume and hair change. I sort of like the change of physicality thing.
