I have been inundated with offers to move into a career in television or film, and these, too, are tempting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like how steady the work in television is. Films, they're hard to come by. They're elusive. I've done a couple, independently financed. You do them, and maybe a few people will see them.
I've been blessed to have acting opportunities in movies, television, as well as Broadway, and definitely want to continue to do so.
I'd like to start trying different fields of work. I don't want to be stuck in just comedy, and I'd be interested to try to break into the movie business because it's so much different than television.
I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.
In fact, I had a series of offers which would have brought me a lot of money to make films and package TV programs. There were people who said to me, we'll put a million dollars in your bank account tomorrow, which is a hard thing to turn down.
TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.
I feel that, at this point in my career, I don't want to do another television show. I don't want to do a film.
You can't really go into TV thinking, 'Maybe I can make a few bucks doing this thing I'm only kind of interested in to support my one true love, which is prose fiction.' I think you have to love what you're doing to do it well.
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.
While I love film and want to continue to pursue it 100 percent, my home is TV.
