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

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.

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.

I mean, everybody's star fades in every business; that's just a natural part of life.

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.
