Quotes
  • There were some movies I passed on early on, and some movies I didn`t get, some big studio films. But now I look back and I realize that I really came later in life to a kind of career. I was somewhat typecast as suburban "mom" type roles early on. But I`ve always had this deep voice, so I think it was tough sometimes for directors to cast me as the ingénue. Because I`d walk in and look a certain way, then open my mouth and have this...voice! So I think I sort of grew into my voice, my face, my body as I got older.
