No, I mean, I just, I have young, Chris Colfer, who was in Glee for years, is a very close friend of mine.

Fred Hechinger, who I did Thelma with.

I mean, it just seems natural to me.

I mean, if somebody's interesting, they're interesting, no matter what their age is.

It's difficult because you're put in a niche, and it's an earning niche.

It's a comfortable niche.

But as Scarlett said, you have to do it yourself.

I don't think there's any way anyone's going to do it for you.

And in fact, you know, I did the same thing with the musical theater and becoming an actress, per se.

And it's not easy.

But, you know, it's ridiculous to have to do that.

It was ridiculous for Scarlett to have to do that.

But that is what the whole industry tends towards, certainly.

Well, I married my second husband, and he was an acting teacher.

And he was determined, almost more than I was, that I was going to become a fine actress.

And so he started working with me, and that made a tremendous difference.

And then I actually had to turn down musical work, and I started doing much more regional theater.

And after a few seasons of doing regional theater as an actress rather than a musical performer, and then I started doing off-off-Broadway.
