Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

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.

Acting is really only part of my life. I'm addicted to it.

I've been very lucky. I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't really have the drive to sell myself. Fortunately I had a terrific agent in New York who kept me going from job to job.

I've kept my sanity in this business by trying out for a role and then going home and trying to forget about it.

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