Just because I really am a housewife and a mom, I don't get to watch television,
It is fitting that finally a citizen will have a memorial on the (National) Mall. It will remind people that an individual can change the course of history worldwide.
When you feel a connection, a gut connection, a heart connection, it's a very special thing. What's familiar to everyone is watching people falling in love; it doesn't happen on screen that often. People fall in lust, then they're suddenly together.
I rather go to see a good play than be in one.
Television studios bet the farm on reality shows, where they didn't need any actors and movie studios had no plans for any quality movies that required the presence of me.
You very seldom see a picture where you watch the process of falling in love.
Everyone has the impulse to be elite.
Does my character hate Bree? Well, let's just put it this way. Bree hasn't seen the last of me. I gave that drunk gal a ride home a few episodes ago and she turned on me!
As an adult after college and as an artist I thought about what was real, what sustained me - it was Christian Science. I was using that when I didn't know it. Saying yes to the Light and your better instinct.
I have always done what I wanted to do.
I think people need to understand that with plays and with cinema, when you hear about it, call and get a ticket then or go and see it then. It's especially with the play, which I can do because it's a limited run.
After 9/11 and the impending actors' strike of a few years ago, roles dried up for everyone.
I was like, wait a minute. When I hear my sisters' names, I want to have a joyful feeling in my heart about it.
Once our storyline gets under way, I just hope people don't throw cabbages at me in the market.
