Texas people are very open, because it's open.
I had done plays all my life. Many, many, many plays, off-Broadway plays.
I am very musical. Am I a great singer? No. But I'm extremely musical.
Wine has class. I love wine. The drier, the better. But beer? I just can't do it.
I'm delighted with how my career unfolded.
'The Good Wife' was so unbelievably luxurious to step into.
I love just being at Lincoln Center - it's so New York! Those fountains!
So many actors who are really gifted and talented just don't get the opportunity. I happened to get that opportunity.
I'm from East Texas, yes.
Let me just say, as I've gotten older, the parts have gotten better.
I've always learned in show business you take the job.
If you need things, you work harder to get them.
I played an old woman in a wheelchair at 18.
I played Big Mama in 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' when I was 20 years old at the University of Michigan.
I love Kentucky people, but you have to get on the inside before they accept you.
I love Steve Harvey on 'Family Feud.' I love 'Antiques Roadshow' and 'Fixer Upper.' Anything that's mind-numbing.
I've been very, very, very, very fortunate, and I'm very grateful for my career and that, at 60, I won an Emmy.
I'm gaga over Richard Jenkins.
