Quote of the Day: Birthday girl Victoria Clark on getting older and broader in your range...

The thing about being an actor is that as we get older, there are more and more characters to explore and, in general, they get more complicated, so you get to bring all your crazy life experience to the table.
-- Victoria Clark (via BrainyQuote)
