She said, "It’s a lesson in being present and to not be thinking ahead. If you asked me 20 years ago, I never thought I’d be here 20 years later, and I am fulfilled and I love my co-stars and it’s an incredible collaboration with the producers and the writers, so I’m really enjoying it."

“With moments like this, you’re sort of forced to really take it in because I feel like I’ve been in this marathon for 20 years. You know, just doing the work everyday and our days are long so it’s been a long and beautiful journey to have moments to celebrate it,” she continued.
