I looked at longevity in show business when I was about 13, and the people who seemed to have longevity were the ones who'd spent quite a bit of time learning about what they were doing before they made it.

If there's anything about longevity in television, it's about knowing what to take and what to turn down, and what to stop.

It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.

There's something in human nature, the trying-to-get-on-with-it quality of people, the struggle to maintain or keep the show going can be exhausting.

I don't know what the secret to longevity as an actress is. It's more than talent and beauty. Maybe it's the audience seeing itself in you.

Character actors have a long shelf life.

When the creator of the show is gone, the actors end up being the people who have been there the longest.

I admit the last couple of years shows were not up to par.

I think it's a very ephemeral thing, what makes a show a success.
