I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.

Even after 'Gangster' being a success, I was considered a B-grade actress and was a sidekick, even though I was good at what I did, and was jobless for two years.

I always see myself as a character actor, but Remington Steele was me. I gave up on trying to be any character. I just put myself as me in this world of Remington Steele and the grand pretender.

I was a bigger-than-life persona before I was anyone in my own mind.

I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don't take on characteristics which are very alien to me.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I was always a character actor. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood.

In my career, I really set out not to develop too strong a persona so that you wouldn't have a hard time imagining me in any given role. I wanted to pleasantly confuse the audience on who I was.
