 But Angela had at least 30% more viewers on the same night at the same time. I mean, she wiped everybody out. But the sponsors don't care when she had the most people. They only care about if there was only a handful of young viewers on the other one. |
| In my early days I was a contract player at Universal and I had a wonderful mentor named Monique James, who was head of talent there, and she used to drag me on sets to do parts. |
| I'm not here to put down men, God love them and I'm married to one, but I do think they are more shallow. |
| In fact I have nightmares about having children. I want to carry a baby and feel the life within me and in my dream, I do. But every time after it's born, there's this incredible fear, this pounding pulse of fear. It's a real bad nightmare. |
| Studios were just run differently. There really was a head of a studio. There were people who loved their studios. Who worked for their studios and were loaned out to other people and everybody sort of got a piece. Well now there's a handful now. |
| All men are difficult. |
| You know what I would really like to do? I'd like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it. |
| There are only about three really, really good sitcoms on the air. |
| The whole tone now of TV is under 35 and directed toward males. |
| I kind of resent this attitude of men that we somehow must always look good. |
| Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can't have things? |
| Something just happens when you read a part. You know, if you'd like to do it or if you don't believe it. |
| But I've always believed that Christine Cagney shouldn't be played past a certain age. |
| There's no praise or acknowledgment paid to women who raise the babies. |
| I think there are some people in life who are not marriage material and Chris is one of them. |
| And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn't take her where she wanted, but she still had her dreams. |
| Women and minorities have excelled beautifully in comedy, but very few women are the lead in a drama. |
| Yeah, I've always been accused of having a sense of mischief and I'm very flattered that you say you can see it in the roles I play, because I think that's important, even if I do play intense characters, like especially Christine Cagney. |
| I don't believe there is any character that one can play for that long and not bring a piece of you to it. |
| Yeah, even a black comedy. Where it's a little eerie. I'd love to do that. But there are about three really fabulous ones on the air now and I don't know if I can do any better than that. I'd like to sort of forge new ground. |
