Drama is always conflict. Conflict either comes from within or without. The thing that makes a show different is the conflict manifests itself both internally and externally.

I act probably a lot more than you see. I happen to choose movies that don’t have much of a life, or I choose movies that are shown on cable instead of as features

I feel that I’m a spiritual person in that I feel like telling stories is a spiritual exercise and I think that it’s something that we need as a culture and as humans. We need for people to put stories up in front of us that we recognize ourselves so that we can see – you need to be able to see something in a finite form in order to identify with it sometimes because your life sprawls before you in this kind of way that you can’t capture.

I got on stage and I went, “Oh wow. No stage fright.” I couldn’t do public speaking, and I couldn’t play the piano in front of people, but I could act. I found that being on stage, I felt, “This is home.” I felt an immediate right thing, and the exchange between the audience and the actors on stage was so fulfilling. I just went, “That is the conversation I want to have.”

I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient.

I think it’s really odd, too, that the public is so privy to how much money the actors make and what movies cost. It seems to me to be beside the point. When I go to a movie I really don’t want to think about the money. I want to see the story.

I think that my looks through the years have served me well because I was never a great beauty and I was never cast as a great beauty. My looks were not part of my transportation – certainly not in the typical leading lady role – so I never leaned on it and I never really made that a high value.

I’m basically talking to the audience, standing alone, describing the weather. It’s very rudimentary, the dialogue, saying what the weather is like that day.
