Success has come late in my life, but it feels right for me now. And better to come late than never.
If I weren't an actor, I'd either be a teacher or a critic.
I like to think I'm multi-faceted. Actually, my favorite roles are roles like in 'Far from Heaven.' Y'know. Soft people. Loving people.
I didn't think Palmer should have been killed at all. I didn't like the message that it sent. There is too much meanness in the world - why kill off a character that is so loved by everybody?
