"When I did L.A. Law it was very interesting, because I instantly got offers for shows where someone gets to throw a tomato in my face. Lots of interesting reactions to that part because of her strength. A lot of take-offs on the Rosalind Shays role that had me being ridiculed. It was very interesting."

"It was very long days. We had a British crew and we were being worked straight trough, and finally they had to ask for a few days off. There were snakes and heat and illness.
