Every time you perform you learn a little bit more.

I believe that you're here on Earth for a short time, and while you're here, you shouldn't forget it.

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.

I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.

I'm 5-feet-9, I have a deep voice, and I have a way with a line. What can I do about it? I can't stay home waiting for something different. I think it's a total waste of energy worrying about typecasting.
