When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.

People love coming on television, even if they have to show their miseries.

For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1, then to school from 3 to 10 at night, always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

I chose the most explosive dress I could find. I put a ton of makeup on and some great round earrings. I looked like Jennifer Jones in Duel in the Sun.
