10 quick questions for kathleen turner | members only access

Growing up, you moved often and lived overseas because of your father’s career in the foreign service. Was any country your favorite, and do you speak any foreign languages? I speak Spanish,

some French, some Italian. Romance languages. Give me a week in Paris and wine, and I’m doing pretty well with French. I love Italy. I love Spain. I really do. Andalusia, the southern

portion of Spain, is just enchanting to me. I find it magical. A few years ago my daughter and I took a vacation, and we rented a car, and we just drove all over Andalusia. We based

ourselves in Córdoba, which is a beautiful city, and just had the best time. This past June we took a couple weeks in England. We hadn’t been back to Europe in two years, which was tough

because [typically] I go every year to Europe. We had houses out in the countryside, in Wales. We shopped at farmers markets and farms and made our own meals mostly and drove around the

countryside. Back at home in New York City, what’s a perfect day off? Good book, a lovely restaurant, some good wine and food, a walk along the river. I love the Hudson River Park. They’ve

done such a beautiful job there. I like walking down to the tip, to the harbor. It’s like the rest of the world is out there. That’s one reason I always wanted to live in New York, because

it’s as close as I can get to the rest of the world. L.A. never felt like that.  What shows are you watching these days? I watch a lot of news, I must confess. Probably too much. Certainly

in the evenings, the BBC and PBS and stuff I’m rather religious about. … I’ve been watching _Shrinking; _I was watching_ She-Hulk: _[_Attorney at Law _on Disney+]. I love that actress

[Tatiana Maslany]. She just cracks me up. Do you have a favorite acting genre? I have to confess, making people laugh pleases me most. I’ve been doing [my one-woman show] _Finding My Voice_

in Arizona, Virginia, New York. It’s autobiographical, but it’s also about my politics, my beliefs and then songs to highlight the text. It makes me very nervous at times because I’ve

written it. It’s not a script that I’m hiding behind. Everything has to be true. True, period. I just love it. I love the people. I love the feeling I get from them. At one point I say,

“Every day I am astounded by the affection that has been given to me over the years, and I hope people know it is returned.” And I sing “On My Way to You_,_”_ _and it’s a lovely feeling.
