I Loved The Stage And Then Grew

I Wanted To Be An Actress. In College I Was A Serious Feminist And Very Political. I Was Determined To Get One Thing Out Of My Career And That Was Respect. I Didn't Want Money. I Didn't Care About Fame.

I Like To Take Up Something That Is Challenging. I Like To Stretch Myself.

I Think All Industries Are Sexist In Nature And I Don't Think The Film Industry Is Any Different.

Theatre Is More Exciting In The Sense That You Can Actually See The Audience In The Eye. You Know There Are No Takes And Retakes. You Have One Chance To Do Your Job... And You Better Do It Well!

I'm More Proud Of Quitting Smoking Than Of Anything Else I've Done In My Life, Including Winning An Oscar.
