My father died prematurely at the age of 52 when I was 24, and it is a recurring regret that he never lived to see me succeed beyond university and drama.
My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.
The '80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
At that age, feeling unpopular is difficult to handle. It's a hard feeling to shake off. Feeling comfortable in my own skin has never been easy for me.
I'm much more open to being a supporting actor right now. At the age of 60, I'll be second fiddle. Fine. I'm happy to do it.
'Certainly Men of a Certain Age' was different for me and allowed people to see me in a different light. Maybe that opened up minds a little bit.
My career as an actor started when I was six years old, taking dancing lessons. Then I started getting paid jobs to dance at the age of seven.
I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.
I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week after week. I'd like to do a series.
If I could look like anyone, it would be Jamie Redknapp - even up close, he's amazing.
Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world's most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day.
If you ever have a kid who doesn't know what to do, stick him in art school. It's amazing what evolves.
I have perfected the art of putting my feet on my husband's lap during awards ceremonies so he can rub them.
I always feel that art in general and acting in particular should make the audience a little uncomfortable, to slap them and wake them up.
The demarcation between an art house film and an entertainer has blurred, only because a larger section of the audience has accepted such realistic films.
I'm interested in art for all. I don't want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.
Acting is an art form. If you are not creating something that's unusual and informative and at least has the possibility of being illuminating, then you are not into it as an art form.
Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest, it is beautiful. If it is not honest, it is obvious.
There was certainly less profanity in the Godfather than in the Sopranos. There was a kind of respect. It's not that I totally agreed with it, but it was a great piece of art.
Some couples could not work together but we enjoy working on our projects and building our art business.
I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination.
