“I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.” — Andrea Martin Quote

I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.

Oh yeah, I'm about to host the Genies, which are the Canadian Academy Awards.

The truth of the matter is I stayed in L.A. raising my children, and when they went to college, I packed my bags along with them and came to New York and looked for parts in the theatre, because that's always what I preferred doing.

It's really important to me to keep growing and keep finding new things.

I really believed that if I could play that character, who is grounded in the earth and the history of the United States - not the kind of role I usually play - it would help me change the perception out there and my own perception of what I can accomplish as a performer.

It may be irrational, but if you're local, the client often feels that, if worse comes to worst, they can knock on your door. They 'know where you live.'

Yoga has always been an integral part of my life style. The benefits I have reaped from a constant practice have been invaluable to me.
