I Can Fish From A Stick And

I Never Like To Refer Back To Anything I've Done When I'm Working On A Character, Even If That Character Has The Same Occupation.

I First Felt Successful When I Was 13 And In A Show Called "seesaw." I Came Offstage And Heard The Applause Of The Theater Audience And Felt A Sense Of Accomplishment. Around That Time, My Role Model For Success Was Burt Lancaster. He Was One Of The First Actors In Hollywood To Start His Own Production Company, And I Respected Him Because He Created Something He Believed In.

I Think Many People Have Contradictions To Them And I Love Characters That Deal With Those Contradictions.

I Just Want To Serve Up The Goodness And Grace That's Been Given To Me Because I Made A Choice That Lined Up With My Passion. And That's What I Tell My Kids.

There's Such A Grace And Understanding In The Female Persona When Women Have Really Come Into Their Own. Part Of That Is To Have Children, And To Be Caring For Those Children, And Not Only In The Care For Them, But Also In The Nurturing And Raising Of Them, They Have To Pass On Their Souls And Their Intelligence. And All Those Things Can't Be Taught. It's Something That, That In The Essence Of A Woman, The Essence Of A Mother, A Mother Knows!
