I have to say my background was mostly theatre, which I love, and it took a long time to feel comfortable there. That's probably true of anyone's career.
Life gets more interesting as it goes on. It becomes fuller because there is perspective there.
TV is terrific. It's really fast paced which I find difficult.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was 35 years old, and I was working in a pet shop.
Two of my aunts are Catholic sisters.
The day after Trump was elected, I happened to be home in New York. I went to bed for the day.
In general, between an actor and a character, there needs to be a falling in love, if you will - which I'm saying in quotes.
Wherever the career wasn't going the way I wanted it to, I would experience those disappointments, and I would put them somewhere where I could say, 'Come on now, you're still working. Keep your focus where it belongs.'
In my experience as an actor over so many years, I don't know when I have been touched so deeply on so many levels as I have been by 'The Leftovers' in my three years there. It is a profound exploration of life, of grief, of loss.
I think 'The Leftovers' is one of the most extraordinary shows that has ever seen the light of day.
