stuff digging theory
My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
school play acting
It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
new-york jobs agents
I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.
memories appreciate long
You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.
mother sweet children
Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.
acting
Acting is really only part of my life. I'm addicted to it.
littles actors guilty
I feel a little guilty only being an actor.
dream night two
I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
play trying different
I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.
children thinking generations
I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.
hard-work first-love people
I've always just adored music. It's my first love, really. I admire and respect people in the music business. You really have to work hard and diligently. Sometimes actors can be lazy and get away with it, but you can't do that if you're a musician.
actors generous
Actors are very generous.
checked
Yes, I am (going to be a grandmother again.) Well, I think so. Oh, well I have not checked lately,
business forget home kept role sanity trying
I've kept my sanity in this business by trying out for a role and then going home and trying to forget about it.
