I like to use my hands. When I was in theatre in college, that was one of my biggest notes: 'You use your hands too much.

My timing in life has been extraordinary. I've ridden the crest of the wave of the women's movement.

I don't think I ever wanted fame.

I started out doing theater and a soap in New York and that's... sort of what I got stuck in. I was blessed enough to have long runs, and it's sort of hard sometimes then to get out.

You don't choose the theatre; The theatre choses you

To work on great material, what you really end up working on is yourself, your own humanity.

I think if I have any kind of unique gift, it's more in the comedy area than it is in the dramatic area.
