I'm far, far, far from that. But of course, that's one of the joys of acting is that you can move up in the world, even if - you know, in the characters that you're playing, even if you don't.

Where you get people who want to take a picture of you or take a picture of them with you.

The thing is, often press people ask questions that are so personal that even your nearest and dearest wouldn't ask them.

I think everybody who was in it thought they were all going to be Eartha Kitt or be big stars. That didn't happen, but it was a wake-up call to have one's first professional job on Broadway, I must say.

There is a kind of invisible thread between the actor and the audience, and when it's there it's stunning, and there is nothing to match that.

We can't escape the shadow, so the best thing we can do is notice the light and be open to it.

The last couple of years have been a write-off, though I'm beginning to feel like a person now. My energy is coming back.
