There was a time I couldn't get a job.
What would I do now, at age 48, if I were deported to a country that I have not seen in more than 40 years and whose language I no longer speak? How would I work? How would I survive?
I love acting. When I'm acting I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm just having a wonderful time. The nightmare is just getting the work to happen.
I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage.
The life of a writer is absolute hell compared to the life of a businessman.
There's been times when it has been tough professionally.
Every industry has slack times, and everyone has bad days at work.
I see what kids in the business have to watch. It's tough to do.
Here's the thing: I did one episode of Deep Space Nine, and I loved everybody that I worked with. People couldn't have been kinder... But I had a really, really difficult time with the prosthetics.
It's not always easy, but I love my job.
Fortunately and unfortunately, people don't see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work.
I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set.
