powerful roles theater
The roles that are written for women as they grow older in theater are much richer and much more powerful.
courage spring lying
Fearlessness at twenty springs from not knowing challenges lie ahead. Fearlessness at fifty comes from having wrestled with life's challenges and learned from them.
kissing passionate kissing-you
When someone is kissing you passionately, you feel passionate!
government-intervention abortion decision
This is not about abortion or the antics. This is about pro choice versus anti-choice and government intervention in a woman's personal decisions about her life.
roles actors
The best role is always ahead.
children men stills
There are still women who are not living their own lives, but living through their men or their children
men directors should
Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't
causes helping practicals
I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me
people age dollars
It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene
men waiting trying
The roles that I am attracted to are women who try to do something about their lives, and not a woman who waits for some circumstance or man to come rescue her. I have no interest in that.
support-systems underestimate admiration
I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate
mother play roles
At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers
hands acting necks
I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up
thinking outlines
I don't think I'm anything like the improviser. I'm not. I do better with at least an outline.
