I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.

Risk is the willingness to fail.

My greatest fear when we were doing "Body Heat" was that I wouldn't be sexy. I didn't have a self-image of myself as this alluring, powerful, sexual female.

My husband says I can do anything I put my mind to, but the truth i, the only thing I want to do is act.

At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers

I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world; one quarter are born knowing that they will affect the world

I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.
