There's a definition of narcissism that when a parent is narcissistic, instead of the child seeing himself reflected in the mother's face and the mother's joy, the child of the narcissistic parent feels like, 'What can I do to make her okay, to make her happy?'

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.

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

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

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.

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.
