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

Anger is very difficult for me to express. I have a tremendous amount of anger but I like to save it . . . for my loved ones.

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.

Mitch and I have known each other for such a long time, and we're both so pleased to be given this opportunity at this point in our lives to play characters that we've never really had a chance to play before. It's a great gift. Plus we're wise enough to appreciate it.

I wouldn't have the life I have without television. I wouldn't be looking out my apartment window onto the East River; I wouldn't be able to afford to have my mother with me this summer. So television has been very good to me.

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

The business of living - that's your artwork, and the process of that is finding out who you are, what it all means.
