Tyne Daly

I never played the 'decoration,' I always played the one who suffered. And then I got very lucky in my middle career, when I started playing the hero, which at that point was quite rare for women.

My job always is to play a person, not to judge her.

I'm not glamorous, I don't have a look, I don't know anything about opera, I have no Italian, and I'm too old.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
