It's not so weird that four generations are living together under the same roof and trying to make it work. It's how a lot of people in this country are living right now.
Things tend to come when they are meant to come. I know that sounds kind of like spiritual and cheesy, but I think things come when they're meant to come.
I'm hoping maybe people like working with me because I like what I do for a living and I want to have a good time.
I've been doing old-people things since I was a child.
In the theater, as an actor, you're welcoming people into your house.
I like things that are civilized.
I hate those people who say 'I don't own a television' - I own one and I watch it whenever I can.
I watch things that are fun, or funny, or interesting.
I live like a crazy old pack rat.
You'll notice my eyes have sort of glazed over.
It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.
That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it.
There are an infinite number of ways to be moved in the theater.
I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.
