Biography
I've heard that they think me bossy. I've heard I'm difficult to work with. I am bossy actually. I want to do it the way I want to do it. It's easy to tread on other people's toes without even knowing it. If you're me, it is anyway, evidently. They may think I'm bossy and upstaging, but I don't mean it. I'm just taking my role to the limit.

I really like working with actors. My wars are never with actors. People say I think like a director, but I wouldn't want to be one. I don't want anybody else to boss me, but I don't want to boss anybody else, either. I just don't like being controlled.

I have to be involved in the entire project. I like to watch other people's scenes. I just couldn't come in and do my part.It would be too lonely for me. But..I have lots of opinions on how it's being shot, the lighting and everything. I'm being a nuisance to help the program.

The kind of people who did radio were a breed apart. In radio you're passionately involved, and when the show is over you go off together, in this great camaraderie, and get pissed. You don't do that in television. In TV, you've got to be up at four in the morning and work until maybe nine at night. You're not going to be partying after that.

I've always played old, even when I was young. They know better than to cast me in the goodie-goodie grandmother roles, though. (Interview with the CBC)
