Life is filled with a lot of stuff, you know. There is never a dull moment.

You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.

I really feel all my adult life has been spent in that little black box. If a wonderful part on TV came along I would do it. But I don't want to do a recurring role. It would just be my luck that the thing would be successful. I'm old enough now and also secure enough financially that I really only want to do what I want to do.

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.
