Maybe if people are getting worn out with reality shows, which they don't seem to be, comedies will start reasserting themselves.
But when I disappeared, it sort of pissed me off, that guys get to go on being sexual until they're seventy or eighty, and we disappear at forty-five or fifty.
Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.
I traveled and read a lot, but I didn't have any real desire to work, though I harbored the knowledge I should get off my butt and back to work.
I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.

I very much believe in rescuing animals, not buying them.
