I just feel that getting out there physically and protecting New York, putting my arms around everyone and protecting them... to see this happen to our city and our community.

I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

I'm very happy with the opportunities I've had.

I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.

Acting as a career is a long term thing and that work is kind of progressive and you can build on a career. It's part of the great tradition of the theater to me.

Someday hopefully it won’t be necessary to allocate a special evening to celebrate where we are and how far we’ve come…someday women writers, producers and crew members will be so commonplace, and roles and salaries for actresses will outstrip those for men, and pigs will fly.
