I've been around the block.

It's really interesting because I'm a Quaker... so it's been radical to me to be hired by the Department of Defense under contract.

When I finished high school, I didn't have much direction - I was a Deadhead kid who ended up bumming around London seeing a lot of theater. That's where I saw the performance that made me want to act: Vanessa Redgrave doing 'A Touch of the Poet.'

OK, so I'm a working mom that also gets to kiss George Clooney. That's a little bit of a perk of the job.

I love seeing people in their mess. I find that heartwarming. Charm just doesn't interest me. If I want to see charming people, I can watch TV.

My God, I have so much bounty in my life.
