I learned, having played Marcia Clark, what the value of that is in your life because it can affect everything, every choice you make, the way you deal with a stranger on the street, or your best friend or lover. It's a powerful thing to know yourself and to have the commitment and the courage to let that be your guide.

I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.

I'd love to be in the '70s. I'd love to have a big, long wig parted down the middle with flat-ironed hair and bell-bottoms. They're actually very flattering for my figure. The wider the leg, the better for a person with a booty.

I am a person who is not mated.

I've never been on a show that's run for more than a season.

If I had my druthers, I would be working in all different mediums, forever.

I could never have thought, "I wanna play a two-headed woman." That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.
