But I've always believed that Christine Cagney shouldn't be played past a certain age.

In fact I have nightmares about having children. I want to carry a baby and feel the life within me and in my dream, I do. But every time after it's born, there's this incredible fear, this pounding pulse of fear. It's a real bad nightmare.

There's no praise or acknowledgment paid to women who raise the babies.

Something just happens when you read a part. You know, if you'd like to do it or if you don't believe it.

Yeah, I've always been accused of having a sense of mischief and I'm very flattered that you say you can see it in the roles I play, because I think that's important, even if I do play intense characters, like especially Christine Cagney.

Studios were just run differently. There really was a head of a studio. There were people who loved their studios. Who worked for their studios and were loaned out to other people and everybody sort of got a piece. Well now there's a handful now.

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