I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.

I've done some good work and some not-good work.

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.

I didn't back into being an actor, I was born one.

And I realized that sometimes the greatest triumphs in your life come in on little cat feet and sit on silent haunches and it's up to you to see it before it moves on.

I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.

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