Our perception of celebrities in Hollywood is not the reality. The reality of our lives is so much like everyone else's life. We have family members we love, everyone gets up in the morning, they have three meals a day and they go about their business.

You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It's all parts of me. I don't leave characters behind. I just let them go.

I'm a fool for a good role in a creative piece where there are really such talented writers and wonderful actors.

I had a dozen years to act before starting a family then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value.

Banana Splits for Breakfast. I think I ate about five.

I've not had a mean life.

I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.
