I have to keep working because, although I have land, I'm not cash rich and don't have the wealth of high-profile actresses - don't say I'm an 'actor.' That's a bit too modern.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
I am not the greatest actor in the world, but the reason I keep working is that I work hard and show up every day and be easy to work with.
I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.
At the end of the day, I'm an actor. I'm not here to sell other stuff or use off-screen things to generate whether or not I work. If I'm any good, I'll work; if I'm not, I won't.
I'm a working actress.
My goal has always been to be a working actor.
Through all of this lovely interviewing, and nice things people say, and the rest of it, I have learned that I am an actor. That is my profession. That is my job. That is how I make a living. So I am just out there making a living.
But I'm an actor and I like to just keep working.
I'm still an actor who wants to work all the time.
