Felicity Huffman: I've thought of giving up acting
20/01/2010 - 16:21
Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman says she's contemplated giving up acting.
She told TV Times: "I've been unemployed - so has anyone who's been in the business for more than five or ten years and didn't start out young and beautiful.
"I've thought of giving up acting many times, but I'm not really good at anything else."
The Oscar-nominated actress explained that she hopes Desperate Housewives will never end.
"Every hit programme has a life span - I don't know what this one will be. Friends went for 10 years, Frasier lasted for 11, but some shows go for three. I would like it if it goes on for 10 years because it's a dream job.
"I'm going to do Desperate Housewives until I'm a desperate old biddy. People will say, 'The only actress who stayed was Felicity Huffman and she needs a walking frame!'."
Desperate Housewives returns to Channel 4 on Wednesday, January 27.
