Katey Sagal

It's so weird that I play this woman who pretty much deals with violence on a daily basis, and I'm such a wimp in who I am.

So you know, my plan was that I was going to make records, and be a rock star. And that's really what I wanted to do. And I sang from the time I was very young.

When you tour with a band, you're just out there, and it's just you guys. That's your little universe. If you do a play, it's the same deal. That becomes your world, for the cast and crew.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
