I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

I think that it's our time, ... We're interesting women, and we're not dead women, we're very much alive, we're very sexy and intelligent and vibrant. Hot flashes and all.

For a woman who's a widow and pretty much a loner, I can walk out, and I'm surrounded by NYU kids. The energy jumps off the sidewalks, and I never feel sad or bored.

It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.

I think I have a lot of crazy layers.

Being a grandmother is probably the most important thing to me. I have two really rambunctious little ones, and I love spending time with them.
