faces great older plastic
I want to be the only American actress who doesn't do any plastic surgery or anything. I think older faces are great.
acting front hide lost love people soon talk worried
For me, the acting part - and I have to say it makes me a little worried about my own psychological make-up - is that I just love to hide in other characters. I don't like to get up in front of people and talk as Kathy Baker. But as soon as you say 'action,' I'm lost in that character.
actress beauty easier expressive fabulous face incredible known
I worry about my face not having expression. I've never been known for glamour, so it's probably easier for me than it is for someone who has been known for her incredible beauty and glamour. I always wanted to be Geraldine Page, who was just a fabulous actress with just a nice, normal, expressive face.
certainly dame grand leading
I did not see myself as a leading lady. I thought I was really funny-looking and I would never be the lead, and I certainly would never do film or television. I wanted to do theater. I wanted to be the grand dame of the American stage.
drama funny love
I love to do comedy, and I don't think of things as drama or comedy. I think that if it's a funny line, it's a funny line. If it's a funny moment, it's a funny moment.
accepting age believed continuing mom playing suddenly willing work younger
I've always believed that if you are willing to play your age that you will work, so it's the thing of continuing to play your age and accepting it when you're younger and you suddenly realize, 'Oh, now I'm playing the mom,' 'Oh, I'm playing the grandma.'

What we?re asking for are reasonable explanations for proposals.
button children incredible name people shows sit television worthy
There are so many shows I could name that are incredible and worthy for children to sit and watch, ... There's an on-off button on the television set and people (have) got to use it.
dream eye kissing
Some of the greater things are unseen. That's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream.
giving quaker goods
The Quaker upbringing was not strict, but it was frugal. Extremely frugal. One was always encouraged to give away ones worldly goods.
drama character giving
I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama.
kids wish would-be
I used to wish I would be a painter or a violinist, where maybe I wouldn't need to travel as much. Or maybe if I were a writer, I wouldn't need to travel as much. It's the travel that kind of killed me. And the hours. I always pictured if I were a painter you could make your own hours maybe... work after the kids were asleep...
offered plain various
We have continually offered various solutions, but everything we put back at them is plain old ?no,?
along asked board meeting next prior talk
We have said all along that we will talk any time, anywhere, ... We asked for a meeting prior to their next board meeting Tuesday, but they refused. We want to talk, they don?t.
