Personal Quotes
I’m realizing that a soap offers so many opportunities for a woman my age. At this stage in my career, the roles that are available tend to be the judge or the doctor or somebody’s mother – that’s what happens when you’re the guest star of the week.
I don’t know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It’s more than talent and beauty. Maybe it’s the audience seeing itself in you.
I was always the sexy, voluptuous woman. It was a strange dichotomy, because for someone who had only thought of herself as not pretty to suddenly be told that I was this desirable person was odd. But it worked for me.
My parents were pretty open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous.
I’ll tell you one thing: I really believe in marriage. It’s an incredible support system. I don’t know how people make it without that. I don’t know how people live alone.
I have never had a horror film in my life where anyone said, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t do that.’ I just did them because I thought they were great scripts.
I did a film called ‘Creepshow,’ which was my first film, and it’s still one of my favorites.
I think women are concerned too much with their clothes. Men don’t really care that much about women’s clothes. If they like a girl, chances are they’ll like her clothes.
There was a time when I would have had a problem with being asked to play someone’s mother, but I don’t anymore.
The interesting thing about doing a play is to find a way to make it fresh and do it as though you were doing it for the first time.
