I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

Don't think for one minute, whoever you are, that you're not important. You're so vitally important to stand up and be heard and do what it is you do.

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.

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 done some good work and some not-good work.

But I was losing so much bone density that I would have been in grave danger. And I mean grave danger. If I had let it go just a few more years I could have broken my hip or spine just picking up my granddaughter

I've never had my heart broken.
