crazy play people
Croquet is tough. People play for months because the rules are so bizarre. Those crazy English.
sides milwaukee alleys
I grew up playing in an alley on the south side of Milwaukee.
thinking years roles
When I think of all the years in my 30s when I starved myself... but when I got the role of Lois, I stopped thinking about my looks and was just myself.
jobs teaching hardest-job
Student teaching is the hardest job there is.
perfect peaceful feelings
Gardening is peaceful, yet there is a great element of failure. It's the perfect metaphor for life -- a lot of pleasure, then it's over. There's great satisfaction in tending something, feeling it needs you, even if it's just a plant on your windowsill.
nice joy tennis
One of the greatest joys of tennis is having a nice volley and not really keeping score, not really looking at the lines, but just catching up with each other.
good-day thinking fingers
I think it's a pretty good day if I can get through it without lifting a finger.
attitude based basically career cast glamour judge parts playing strong whose women
I was never a glamour puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I've been basically playing the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I get cast as strong women, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.
children morning piano practice quality quantity time waking
I like to be with my children - not just quality time, but quantity time. I like to be there in the morning when they're waking up. I like to practice piano with them. I like to be there at supper. I need them as much as they need me. Working is not as important to me as being a mother is.
episodes kids laying love mom
I know I don't want to do another single-camera show. It's so time-consuming. I did a couple of episodes of 'Whitney' as her mom, but I have been laying low. I love being with my kids and being a mom.

I'll be surprised if we get those. Some designers aren't familiar with us yet. ... But we're working on them!
talk
I really like to talk when I exercise.
cloth la stripping
If I have makeup, I use a cleanser, but otherwise, I just use a hot cloth at the end of the day to keep moisture in my skin without stripping it off. I do splurge on La Mer, but other than that, I use just use Nivea from the drugstore!
I was 36 when I got married. I was so focused on, 'You wanted a husband, and you wanted a house, and you wanted children.' I've had all those things now.
