(edit)
Holland: I don't think I was born to be a mother. During those years when my body would have wanted [babies], my mind wasn't listening. My creativity was so starved.
(edit)
Holland: You know when you are little you have growth spurts. Then when you are older you have aging spurts, or — to be kinder — maturing spurts. I just sort of realized that I had definitely entered the last act of the three-act play.
(edit)
Holland: (thanking David E. Kelly when winning the Emmy) For giving me a chariot to ride up here on: A woman who puts a flag on the moon for women over 40. Who can think, who can work, who are successes, who can cook, and who can COOK!"
(edit)
Holland: I like the acting as a career because of the endless variety and change. First of all, I don't have any choice because I'm compelled to act. But I am lucky that my profession gives me such variety of experience, locale, people, cultural interests, and creative material.
(edit)
Holland: Don't know what made me want to be an actress. When I was in school, about 12, I did my first play. I was Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream in an outdoor theater, and it was a very dream-like experience. I just thought well, I'll just keep doing this. And, I never looked back!
