I figured as I got older, the good roles for women would be in the theatre. So 15 years ago I started building a Broadway career to try and develop the chops to be accepted as a great theatrical actress.

I know there are nights when I have power, when I could put on something and walk in somewhere, and if there is a man who doesn't look at me, it's because he's gay.

I'm very old-fashioned in some ways because of my father, who thought that being a public servant was an honor. Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.

At about 40, the roles started slowing down. I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers.

I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.

What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.

I have health. I have a wonderful support system. I have the admiration of millions of strangers, which I do not underestimate.

I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny.

It never occurred to me that I couldn't change things that needed changing or couldn't have what I wanted if I worked hard enough and was good enough.

I'm not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me.
