I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.

I love working quickly. I don't like to do thousands of takes, and I don't want to do thousands of set ups.

My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather's house and watched the planes go over.

For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.

I love playing an alien.

I can do five things at once. I'm tapping my foot, I'm opening my mouth and talking to you, and looking at the bulletin board.

Whether it was work, marriage, or family, I've always been a late bloomer.
