It's no accident that Tony Hopkins is a wonderful film actor.

When you're a woman in your 40s, it's not the best time to do films, because there really aren't that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

I got an agent and went up for the part of my first film, Five Gates to Hell.

My goal was not to be famous or rich but to be good at what I did. And that required going to New York and studying and working in the theater.

Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.

There are things that you cannot talk to your mother and father about, there are things that you cannot talk to your children about.
