I don't think I'm vain... but I do like to be lit well.

I'm drawn to roles because they excite me intellectually and emotionally.

I feel so much at home onstage and so comfortable in my body.

I like my life. It's good.
-
There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.
