Besides, here Chris is in her late 40s, so what would all of a sudden come over her and make her get married? Don't ask about me.
We were the highest rated TV movie of the year. The highest of all three networks, I think. Who woulda thunk it? Two old broads.
The way they were writing Christine as this older woman who got married, which she shouldn't have. Obviously got divorced right away. Reached the glass ceiling in the police precinct. So there is a part of her that died because she knows she couldn't go any farther.
And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn't take her where she wanted, but she still had her dreams.
There are only about three really, really good sitcoms on the air.
But it took me awhile to figure out Christine at this age, you know.
I think there are some people in life who are not marriage material and Chris is one of them.
I don't believe there is any character that one can play for that long and not bring a piece of you to it.
I kind of resent this attitude of men that we somehow must always look good.
Yeah, I've always been accused of having a sense of mischief and I'm very flattered that you say you can see it in the roles I play, because I think that's important, even if I do play intense characters, like especially Christine Cagney.
I'm not here to put down men, God love them and I'm married to one, but I do think they are more shallow.
I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.
But I've always believed that Christine Cagney shouldn't be played past a certain age.
There's no praise or acknowledgment paid to women who raise the babies,
