Margo Martindale

I got my first professional job at Harvard, at the Loeb Drama Center, and I remember sitting on campus one day under a tree - I was doing 'Threepenny Opera.' I was reading a book, and the light caught me, and I thought, 'I want to be in the movies.'

I played an old woman in a wheelchair at 18.

I've been very, very, very, very fortunate, and I'm very grateful for my career and that, at 60, I won an Emmy.

I'm delighted with how my career unfolded.

When you're with a bunch of loud 20-year-olds, if you're on a movie and everybody is a lot younger than you and they want you to go to a club, I'm not very comfortable in that situation. I've been on movies when everybody goes out to some loud place. I don't know; I'm not comfortable.

I honestly never turn on the television if I'm alone.

In order for me to have fun, I have to be able to not be buttoned down.

And I love having the job to go to every week. With movies, there's a lot of downtime. I like working, and television really does that.

I love just being at Lincoln Center - it's so New York! Those fountains!

Wine has class. I love wine. The drier, the better. But beer? I just can't do it.

I love Steve Harvey on 'Family Feud.' I love 'Antiques Roadshow' and 'Fixer Upper.' Anything that's mind-numbing.

I love Kentucky people, but you have to get on the inside before they accept you.
