I'm here to be an actor who wants to be remembered for her roles and her films rather than her looks.

I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.

I always enjoyed acting. My aunt was actually an actress.

I was clearly brought into the whole thing about acting by my mother. She loved the theater. She had a very pleasant singing voice, which she used to sing for her ladies' club.

My father has acted in over 700 films. My mother acted in one film, 'Kismat with Mithun Chakraborty,' in which my father also had a role. My father fell in love with her and would drive her around in his sports car, and they subsequently got married. My mom is the most beautiful woman and I think she has taken some serum to look young all her life.

Susan is just great. I know I'm biased, but she's a great actress.

I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

When I met Rachel Robinson for the first time, she is a regal woman, and she was like a grandmother in that first meeting.
