Playing Ann Landers is like channeling my mother. That combination of love and the enjoyment of life is my mother. And you find that combination in Ann Landers' letters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom, I hear.
I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.
I certainly have played women who have a pioneer spirit and longing for adventure.
It's great to play somebody's wife, but not all the time. There's so many other stories to tell.
I wanted to play a mother again. I thought it would be interesting to play the mother of an older child. And it was also the kind of part I've been looking for my whole career, actually, in film. You know, just to play a femme fatale who's very smart, and wicked.
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
I love playing a woman suffering, thinking about the choices that she's made and obviously wanting more. It's classic.
I played with Annika today. I love being paired with her. She does not make many mental mistakes, and she has the ability to repeat her swing over and over and wears people down.
I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.
I enjoyed playing someone who is a professional, intelligent, defined by her work and not her role as a wife or mother.
