They say that Madison Avenue will only pay high dollars in advertising if they get the 18-35 age range.

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.

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.

It's not the networks, it's the advertisers who want to appeal to the young males who go to the movies and buy all of this stuff.

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.

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.

I think there are some people in life who are not marriage material and Chris is one of them.

I've come to learn that there is a real difference between men and women. It's genetic.

We were the highest rated TV movie of the year. The highest of all three networks, I think. Who woulda thunk it? Two old broads.

Yes, I am at peace with not having a baby, but that nightmare must be from my old, old nagging '50s upbringing.

All men are difficult.

But I've always believed that Christine Cagney shouldn't be played past a certain age.

Well what do you do with a character like Christine Cagney and you tell her she can't have things?
