Women and minorities have excelled beautifully in comedy, but very few women are the lead in a drama.

Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can't have things?

You know what I would really like to do? I'd like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it.

In my early days I was a contract player at Universal and I had a wonderful mentor named Monique James, who was head of talent there, and she used to drag me on sets to do parts.

I dont believe there is any character that one can play for that long and not bring a piece of you to it.

But Angela had at least 30% more viewers on the same night at the same time. I mean, she wiped everybody out. But the sponsors don't care when she had the most people. They only care about if there was only a handful of young viewers on the other one.

I think, on the whole, men are much more shallow than women.
