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.
night discipline theatre
You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.
checked
Yes, I am (going to be a grandmother again.) Well, I think so. Oh, well I have not checked lately,
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.
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.
littles actors guilty
I feel a little guilty only being an actor.
acting
Acting is really only part of my life. I'm addicted to it.
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.
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.
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.
school play acting
It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
stuff digging theory
My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.
meaningful ifs i-can
Part of me says that no life will work if I can't make this one right.
rocks towns rock-n-roll
I'm mostly a jazz fan and I've never really been into rock 'n' roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn't really rock 'n' roll — but he's made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we're in the same town and I don't even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning.
