powerful roles theater
The roles that are written for women as they grow older in theater are much richer and much more powerful.
kissing passionate kissing-you
When someone is kissing you passionately, you feel passionate!
father honor benefits
I'm very old-fashioned in some ways because of my father, who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.
sexy powerful self
My greatest fear when we were doing "Body Heat" was that I wouldn't be sexy. I didn't have a self-image of myself as this alluring, powerful, sexual female.
writing needs actresses
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that
brother knowing feelings
I have a brother who's a psychologist. He says three-quarters of the world are born feeling that they will be affected by the world; one quarter are born knowing that they will affect the world
play desire roles
I have no desire to play most of the roles being offered
suffering fool
The older I get, the less I suffer fools gladly
daughter mother couple
I learned years ago, I adore acting and I think it's the most alive I know how to be - almost - but I really want a good life. I've been married for 17 years - I know, they call us the last couple. I have a 13-year-old daughter. I have a lovely home life with good friends who aren't in the business ...and I have no desire to cost my whole life in pursuit of the career alone.
stupid risk ego
If my ego was out of whack and I believed I could carry anything off, that would be a stupid risk. But so far there's been no reason not to try anything.
confidence actors gaps
The big gap between the ability of actors is confidence.
society benefits capacity
Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.
relaxation lovely letting-you-go
You know, when you've worked with somebody before and you've worked very deeply and dangerously then you start with the relaxation and the trust right away and that lets you go even deeper, which is a lovely thing.
moving actresses young
I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move
