I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
I came from a real working-class show business family.
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.
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.
But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
