"When I was first starting out, if you were acting on television, it was a real stigma." — Christine Lahti

When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.

Theatre is more exciting in the sense that you can actually see the audience in the eye. You know there are no takes and retakes. You have one chance to do your job... and you better do it well!

Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.
