When women get great roles in life, they start to get great roles in films and TV. Look at Janet Reno, Madeleine Albright, and Mrs. Thatcher. Because those images are coming at us in life, they are reflected in acting.
I don't get to play the same role over and over in different movies. The roles that I get to play are quite varied, which is great.
The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.
I'm terrified of learning lines, and I've always been terrified that I won't learn them.
I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.
I'm not strong-willed, actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
