I'm a hotel baby, absolutely: it's hard to think of a hotel I haven't stayed in.

mother couple thinking
Well if I had my choice I would not - I wouldn't mind working with Alec Baldwin, but the mother role - I'm kidding. It's terrific. I'll tell you what happened with Alec Baldwin and myself. This is a couple acting together just this side of heaven. He's one of the best actors I've ever worked with in whole life. And I - I'm not overdoing it. I just think he's about the best around today. So I got lucky.

I'm going to do less performing because I'm tired. It's hard to convince anybody that you're just going to take it easy.
