I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.

Like a jerk, I went to a nutritionist and I ate the most repulsive, awful things. I didn't allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers.

I'm highly emotional, so I'm highly aware of humiliation.

There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it.

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.

The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.

We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
