I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.

The roles... the deep roles that I've gotten to play have turned my course. They've changed my life experience.

It took me getting to my 50s before I could say "Whatever!" about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.

I've had such an odd career.

I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.

I really like cable T.V.
