Kathy Bates

I used to play guitar years ago. It brought me a lot of pleasure when I was a teenager growing up and was having tough times.

Jack made it very comfortable for me on the set. We'd met socially before but never worked together. You know, he's very professional, very disciplined and he's always prepared and knows his lines.

I'm not a stunning woman.

I hope I look skinnier in 3D. I hope I don't look three times as fat. That'll be disappointing.

My mother used to ask, 'Why do you always write such sad songs?' I don't know if I was different from a lot of adolescents in that respect.

I have really focused on mindfulness. That helps me make better choices both physically, psychologically, and emotionally.

I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.

I want to be defined by my own essence.

I really just love to work, and I don't care if it's TV or movies.

I have to pay the bills just like everybody else, but it also pays my soul to work.

I love 'Homeland.'

What I love about 'The Office' is the fast pace and the zaniness of those characters.
