I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
I came from a real working-class show business family.
I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
There are not a lot of places for an actor to explore what it's like to be a woman in her 60s. There aren't any films about it and there very few TV series about it.
There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.
But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
