I've never been a fearful person. When I was growing up, I wanted to be an actress, a writer, and a musician and I never really processed that those are the three hardest jobs - I just never even processed it.

I'm all about time management. I have gotten my makeup prep in the morning down to, like, four minutes. There's just not enough time in the day.

There's only one person for every job. You can try all you want, but if you're not right for it, you're not gonna get it.

I worked with my acting coach one-on-one for hours and hours, every single day for two months, before even setting foot on set or putting on Jessica Jones's clothes.

Well, I've had to deal with everything in my life... leavin' the family, learnin' what not and what to do.

People ask what the secret of a happy marriage is. If there is one, it's 'don't talk about it.'

I was born in 1935. But my mother and father - who were immigrants from Ireland - and everybody that I knew growing up in Brooklyn came out of the Depression, and they were remarkable people.

I got married very young and put my career on the back burner for the most part because that's what you did in those days. I've never been a pushy, ambitious type of person anyway.
