I didn't really like opera. I liked cheerleading and boys and, later, smoking. So my opera career was cut short when I was 15. My dad got sick, and we couldn't afford the lessons, so I stopped and became a cheerleader and wrecked my voice.
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
I was offered, within one year, three different witch roles. It was almost like the world was saying - or the studios were saying - 'We don't know what to do with you.'
Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.
I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.
It's a good thing to imagine yourself doing something you think you can't. I do that every day because, basically, if I had it my way, I'd just stay home and think about what I'm having for supper.
