I Don't Have A Waist: I'm A

I'm Interested In Playing Old Ladies Because I Am Becoming One. And I Want To Become A Very Good One!

Both My Parents Were Actors. I Was Schooled To Think That Acting Was An Important Social Service, That It Was Something That Human Beings Need.

I'm Not Glamorous, I Don't Have A Look, I Don't Know Anything About Opera, I Have No Italian, And I'm Too Old.

When You Look At Me You Don't Immediately Imagine A Very Very Glamorous Icon, So It's Only In The Theater That I Get To Do These Experiments. I've Been An Actor About 51 Years Now. I've Played Everything From An 8-year-old Black Boy To A 72-year-old French Matriarch, And They Hardly Hire You To Do That On Tv.

I Don't Take Part In Texting And Those Other Things Myself, So I Don't Really Know If People Put As Much Thought Into Messaging As They Used To Into Writing Letters.
