 My 14-year-old grandniece is not allowed to watch 'American Horror Story' yet.

I'm very lucky to be able to do what I love to do, and I hope I can keep doing it for a while.

Because I'm a woman, because I'm a character actress, because I'm over 40, I'll be very interested to see, not just for me but for other actresses, how Hollywood treats us in the next ten, fifteen years. I'm hoping that it's not going to be so easy to shove people under the rug, as they have in the past.

I went from years of honing my craft to sudden recognition. It was quite a life changer.

Every time an Oscar is given out, an agent gets his wings.

O.K., we had women's lib in the '60s, the women fought for their roles, they're out there in the work force. Now let's talk about how they're dealing with things as human beings.

There are a lot of powerful women in Hollywood who have been movie stars for a long time who are getting into their forties and fifties. I still want to see them work.
