Quotes

"I thought I had a good shot at comedy, but I got lost playing heavies."¹

"It used to be such a stigma, making that transition to various entertainment medias. There are a couple of actresses who have cut it quite well and I consider myself one. You have to work, you have to have your craft. Every job you do, you gain more experience. You never stop learning."¹

"I was not open to acting. I never saw it as an option. I had no one to influence me."¹
