The Theater Commitment Is Hard,

I Played A Lesbian Reporter In 1964, Who Was Incarcerated, And Ended The Series As A 75-year-old Woman. And Then, I Was A Witch Blinded By Acid Who Became The Supreme, And Took My Mother's Energy And Life, So That I Could Live And She Would Die. And Then, I Was Conjoined Twins. And Then, I Played A Heroin Addict.

I Don't Have Children, But My Work Life Is As Important To Me As Anything Could Be. I've Dedicated A Lot Of Time And Energy And Years To It. Some Might Say Some Of My Childbearing Years To It. In And Of Itself, My Work Is Like A Child To Me. That Is My Reality.

It's Ok To Sit In The Golden Globe Room And Look Around And Think, 'oh, Helen Mirren's A Loser Tonight, So Is Nicole Kidman. Meryl Streep Lost Tonight. Jessica Lange Didn't Win.' If You're Gonna Be In The Company Of Losers, That's The Company To Be In.

I'm One Of Those Actors Who's Just Standing There, Waiting And Ready For Something To Come My Way. I Don't Really Try To Think About, "oh, I Feel The Next Thing I Should Do Should Be A Feature. Now, I Think I Should Do A Play." I Just Hope Someone Wants To Cast Me In Something.

To Not Have Any Hope Is Where Things Start To Get Really Bleak. Things Are Possible. The Impossible Can Be Possible.
