I think I am monumentally lucky but I do have the good fortune to have these great young directors offering me parts in their scripts.
But I do really love watching the news and going back and forth between all the news channels. That's really just kind of the highlight of my day.
She's all right, otherwise I wouldn't be here,
And it's not that I haven't taken a money job here and there but for the most part I have been driven by the need to work on a great script.
And there were many parts I didn't get. I was always kind of grasping at things.
I've always wanted to be leading lady/character actress.
They think the worst is over, but we have plenty to go. We have disease and the inability to get sustenance to them food and water and they have no sanitary facilities. They have to get out.
And now oddly I'm getting sexier parts than I've ever gotten.
I don't like a lot of rehearsing.
If my gravy train stops at SAG, honey, it's been a great ride.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
Even though I'm a free spirit, I like to keep my friends and my lovers separate. I have extraordinary friends, but I don't want to see them naked.
Why are comedic parts for women the exception, not the rule?
New Orleans. Born and raised. I lived there until I was 19.
