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.

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

I'm not unaware of the fact that probably my biggest audience is lesbians, and is probably the main reason why I've attained the success that I have.

I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.

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?

Network heads don't seemed to be turned off by the men who get older.
