I think the secret to what Jim Henson did, ultimately, is that he understood how to cut through to the... I know this sounds corny... but the child inside of you.
From Mary Steenburgen
Acting was far from my world. I rarely saw a play. I never met a real actress; they seemed unreal.
I had two wonderful teachers: Sanford Melsner and Fred Kareman.
That's my name. I know it's difficult, and it's not pretty, but it's my name.
If you want to grow up and do what I do for a living - be an actress - my advice to you is read as much as you can.
I want women, especially young women, to create a world where your success is not based on being young.
In my business, guys may age, but it's not even a question they're valued. But women my age are supposed to disappear.
I love to play horrible, evil, mean people.
I wish sometimes people wouldn't underestimate me. But it's a fleeting wish. It's not where I live.
I actually believed if I behaved myself and if I made straight A's and if I was good enough, I could save my dad's life. And every single time he had a heart attack, I knew what I had done that caused it.
