With Some People, That Love Of Music

I Grew Up On Soul Music. I Was A Dancing Little Creep.

I Think My Mother Had A Lot Of Opportunity When She Was A Kid. She Was A Model, And She Did A Lot Of Things In Her Life, But She Had No Real Ambition. I Think My Mother Really Did Want A Home And Kids And All Of That.

I Remember That Jack Lemmon, Who Is One Of My Favorite Actors Of All Time, Says That The Day He Stops Being Nervous Is The Day He Should Leave The Business.

I've Played A Mother Many Times, Even In Tragic Things Like, "i Dreamed Of Africa," So I Know How It Is To Lose A Child Cinematically. I Have So Much Compassion On So Many Fronts, For Women Who Have Lost Children Or Tried For Years And Couldn't Have Them.

As A Child, I Was Very Shy. Painfully, Excruciatingly Shy. I Hid A Lot In My Room. I Was So Terrified To Read Out Loud In School That I Had To Have My Mother Ask My Reading Teacher Not To Call On Me In Class.
