They're so picky about things with plays, and Fox has the rights to it. Maybe there be a version of it we can do. I can put a clause in my contract of the songs I wrote where maybe I'll get to do the songs here. Years later, maybe it can go on the road if it's a hit. If it isn't, we'll bring it here immediately.
At a certain point, you start to think about your legacy, ... If you're lucky enough that someone's listening in 100 years, you want 'em to have all the pieces.
I take all that as a compliment. And if someone gets vulgar, I can put them in their place, but still do it in a fun way.
I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted.

In all seriousness, I have a very fine husband - a true gentleman who respects women.
When I'm home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we're not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.
I want to go and go, and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
