I've been doing old-people things since I was a child.

My mother had been an actress and we came from that world in New York, the theater world and the downtown sort of theater scene, and so I guess we didn't really have what you'd call like a Hollywood kind of life at all.

When you're working with good people it brings good things out in you.

A lot of people in this country right now are living with multiple generations under one roof, struggling to make ends meet.

It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it.

I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.
