From a young age, Laura Linney knew what she wanted to do with her life: act. There was no question.
She was a drama nerd in high school, and went onto Juilliard to study theater. But film acting was never the dream, and movie stardom definitely wasn't the goal.
"I was always completely intimidated by film," she tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies. "I was not the sort of person who grew up thinking, 'Oh, I want to be in the movies.' I loved movies; I just didn't think I particularly belonged there."
Linney, however, does belong on film — at least as much as she belongs on stage. She made a mark on TV in 1994, when PBS broadcast a well-received adaptation of Armistead Maupin's classic San Francisco novel Tales of the City -- but her big break came with the small 2000 film You Can Count on Me, in which she played a single mom in a small town. Linney's performance earned her the first of her three Academy Award nominations.
Since then she has steadily earned the respect of critics and audiences alike for her work in movies such as Mystic River, Kinsey, The Savages and The Squid and the Whale, written by her acquaintance Noah Baumbach.
These days she stars as Cathy Jamison, the terminally ill cancer patient at the center of Showtime's dark comedy series The Big C, on which Linney is also an executive producer. Her own father, the noted playwright Romulus Linney, died of lung cancer after she began work on the show, as she was struggling with questions about life and aging.
"The show came to me in a period of time ... when I was having real existential moments ... thinking about time, and the time that we have, and that it is limited," she says. "It just is.
"It's human nature to — thank God — not have [death] be the first thing you think about every single second, but there is a reality to it. And as I've been aging, and parents are dying and I've unfortunately lost friends who were way too young to go — you realize what a privilege it is to age. And that's not a message we hear a lot in the United States."
The show is now in its fourth and final season; Jamison's disease is beginning to take a physical toll on the character, and Linney has consciously changed her appearance — cut her hair, lost substantial weight — to reflect that reckoning.
"It was important to me that you actually see what's happening to her, that you see the cancer, and you can see how it changes people," she says. "There is something about what happens to the soul of a person as they are battling with an illness; the days when they're feeling weak, the days where they're strong, how that shifts and changes, what happens to the voice, how the body moves. Breathing. And ... more than seeing the disease, you see the life that's there, and how the life is coping with the challenges that are happening with the body."
Interview Highlights
On learning moviemaking on the set of Michael Crichton's Congo
"The acting was not terribly complicated, let's face it. There was not a whole lot to play there. So I thought, you know, I could learn what it is to be on a set. ... I was a bit of a pest, but I would go to the sound department and say, you know, 'Can I watch you guys for the next three weeks when I'm not on set? Can I sit with you? Can I see what you do? Can I see how this all works?' And then I went to the camera department, and then I went to special effects, so I would have a sense of what arena I was working in. And it made me realize what was my job and what was not my job as an actress, and how there was an entire army of people helping me out — and that I could take advantage of that, and lean on what they were offering."
On getting to know Noah Baumbach
"Noah's father and my father knew each other and would both go to MacDowell and Yaddo and writers' colonies together, so they were from the same sort of culture and the same sort of world. So we had that. I knew that world pretty well.
"When you're growing up in the '70s and you have parents who are artists — and you know how difficult it is for them to be parents and be the sort of artists that they were encouraged to be during that period of time culturally, it was not an easy mix."
On fame and how it influenced her version of Abigail Adams on HBO
"I'm well-known. I'm not the sort of person who walks out onto the street and people scream my name, but ... I don't have a purely anonymous life, so I can understand a little bit. And I have some friends who are very, very famous, and I certainly see how they, what they encounter on a daily basis and the moments where you sort of lose reality about your size in the world and how that can change your thinking and, consequently, your behavior. So I was really interested in discovering those dynamics about [Adams]."
On the sex scenes in John Adams
"What makes historical drama accessible are those moments of, 'Well, what do you do? What would anybody do? And then that connects you very quickly. You know, what do you do with the wig? And what happens when people who really love each other have been separated?
"You know, you go to bed. You do. That's what people who are passionate do. When they've been longing for each other and missing each other and the relief of being in each other's presence, you — you know — jump in the sack. So those sort of things that were truthful to us, that we were then able to work into the story."
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies, in for Terry Gross. Our guest is actress Laura Linney, who stars in the Showtime series "The Big C," now in its final season. Linney caught the eye of critics and earned an Oscar nomination for her role as a single mom in a small town in the 2000 film "You Can Count On Me."
In the years since, she's steadily built a career of interesting roles and well-received performances in films including "Mystic River," "Kinsey," "The Squid and the Whale," "The Savages" and as Abigail Adams in the HBO miniseries "John Adams." Linney now has three Oscar nominations and three Emmy Awards.
Since 2010, Linney's taken on the challenge of playing a terminally ill cancer patient in the dark comedy series "The Big C" on Showtime. "The Big C" is now in its final season, which consists of four one-hour episodes. Here's a scene from Season One, in which Linney's character, a suburban mom, has learned she has a serious case of melanoma but has decided not to tell her friends or family about it.
Instead she resolves to spend more of her time enjoying life and less worrying about conventions and the demands of others. Here she's in a restaurant with her husband, played by Oliver Platt. Their relationship has been on the rocks, and he's living at his sister's house.
LAURA LINNEY: (As Cathy Jamison) Do you think I'm boring?
OLIVER PLATT: (As Paul Jamison) Just please tell me what I have to do to get back in the house.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) You do. You think I'm boring.
PLATT: (As Paul) I do not. It's just the way that our personalities break down. I like to do certain things that some people might categorize as fun, and you like to do other things that people might consider less than an optimal good time.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) Like what?
PLATT: (As Paul) Well, like organize stuff and clean stuff and put things in containers.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) I wanted to be the fun one. I wanted the house with the pool so I could teach Adam the banana split and dive, but you wanted to be closer to your job so you could Vespa to work.
PLATT: (As Paul) And you said it was a better idea because so many people die in pools.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) People die everywhere. I said it was a better idea because you threw a tantrum in front of the realtor.
PLATT: (As Paul) I made my point in an emotional way.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) You made your point in a childish way.
PLATT: (As Paul) Well, maybe I wouldn't act like such a kid if you didn't ask me if I need to pee every time I leave the house.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) Maybe I wouldn't treat you like such a child if every time I made you a sandwich you didn't ask me to cut the crusts off the bread.
PLATT: (As Paul) Oh sue me, I love a crustless sandwich.
LINNEY: (As Cathy) Well, I love onions. I haven't had an onion in 15 years because you say they're stinky poo-poo.
PLATT: (As Paul) They are. Come on, Cathy, are you honestly telling me that I'm sleeping on my sister's couch because you want to start cooking with onions again?
LINNEY: (As Cathy) Yes, Paul, that's it. I want onions to be a major part of my life in the next year.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: Are you ready to order?
LINNEY: (As Cathy) I'm just having desserts and liquor.
DAVIES: Well Laura Linney, welcome back to FRESH AIR. Boy, it's as funny as melanoma's going to get, I guess.
DAVIES: I mean, what's one of the wonderful things about that scene is that, you know, you're carrying this profound secret, and he's just being himself. I've read that when you get a script, you like to ask why. You go over it carefully and ask why does the story unfold this way, why does this character do that. And you get to the truth of it somehow.
And so an interesting question must have been: Why does your character, Cathy Jamison, not tell the people she's closest to in her life that she has cancer?
LINNEY: Well, I think it's a variety of reasons, but in this situation, I think: A, she's afraid, you know, she's just scared of how it will change her relationship with everyone. She doesn't want her identity to change in that way. I think she wants to grow, and I think she wants her personality to change, and the circumstances in which she lives her day-to-day life, but I don't think she wants people to look at her, and I don't think she wants to see on their face, the concern, the fear, the confusion that people have sometimes when they're looking at someone who they love with cancer or with a life-threatening illness.
So I think it's that she wants to improve her life first and then tell people.
DAVIES: Right - she's a suburban mom and kind of lives a pretty constrained life, as we heard in that scene. She likes to organize things.
LINNEY: Her life has become sort of calcified. She's done all the right things. She's done everything she thought she should do. She's been alive, but she's not living, and she sort of became a function. She functioned really well, but she wasn't living. And, you know, some - unfortunately sometimes it takes the realization that our time is limited to realize that oh, I haven't been taking advantage of what I have to give to the world and what the world has to give to me, that I've somehow gotten myself stuck in a groove that isn't healthy.
DAVIES: Right, and so she orders liquor and desserts when she goes to restaurants, and she's going to do - and that is certainly going to change the way people perceive her, which is what...
LINNEY: Well, I think at this point, at this point in the story she's just acting out. You know, I think it's all been, you know, blown apart. Her whole world is upside-down, and she's trying to figure out what her geography is. So the desserts and liquor are, you know, pacifying more than anything else, I think.
DAVIES: Apart from being the lead in the series, you're an executive producer. Is that a role that you sought?
LINNEY: It was. It was part of the reason why I took the show on and was interested in doing it was to learn that whole area of the business, and I learned a lot. You know, I've been involved and close to a lot of directors who I've worked with in film, and they've been, you know, encouraging to hear my input and maybe suggestions here and there.
And I've always sort of had a mind for the production end of things. I can look at a call sheet and I can see where they're wasting 20 minutes. I'm good that way. So I was - more than anything, while I knew that I wouldn't have much to do with the overall arc of stories or the writing, which I really left to the experts there, but I did have an influence, I hope anyway, on the set and how the set was run and who was cast and, you know, just wanted to create a nice place for people to work.
DAVIES: You know, I know that your mom was a nurse at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
LINNEY: Yes, yes, so I was aware of cancer from a very, very early age.
DAVIES: And I think as "The Big C" was being made, your father, Romulus Linney, died of cancer, didn't he?
LINNEY: He did, he did.
DAVIES: I mean, and that's a devastating thing for anyone. Did that experience inform your performance in any way, do you think?
LINNEY: You know, I'm sure it did. It was such a blur, and it was so unexpected, and he died very, very quickly from lung cancer. So from, you know, diagnosis to death was I think five weeks. So it was a very tough time, and I'm still, you know, sort of trying to assimilate, you know, all of that.
And it just proves the point that, you know, it's not far away from anybody. And it also proved the point, you know, it made me feel - I was aware of how absurd so many things were happening around my family while he was dying, just the crazy things that were happening. (Laughing)
Just - you go through something like that, and you're so vulnerable, and you're so scared, and you're dealing with doctors and insurance and just craziness. And absurd, crazy things happen. It becomes very surreal. So it made me realize some of the stuff that people thought were perhaps farfetched on "The Big C" were really not farfetched at all.
DAVIES: I want to move forward and play a clip from the final season. This is from the first episode of the final season, where your condition is now much more serious, and you've decided you're going to stop chemotherapy and let the disease take its course. In this scene we're going to hear, you've decided to finally quit your high school teaching job, and you want to say goodbye to your students.
The principal is not really keen on that. So you make a quick decision and dash into the office where the school PA system is operated, lock the door and turn on the PA and say your goodbye to the school over the PA system. Let's listen.
LINNEY: (As Cathy Jamison) Good morning, good morning everyone. This is Mrs. Jamison, the history teacher. And I just wanted to say goodbye to my personal students as well as to the entire student body of West Hill at large. Today, today is the day that I say goodbye to teaching.
Many of you may know that I have cancer, but that's not why I'm leaving. I think much of what we're required to teach you is just a bunch of useless information that you will never use again. But that's not why I'm leaving, either.
I'm quitting my job today because I recently had a conversation with someone who really loves their job, and I realize I don't love mine. I never even really wanted to be a high school teacher. It's something my dad pushed me into because he thought it was a low bar I could clear, but the truth is it's a high bar, and I'm falling short.
And you may never remember the battles I told you about, the facts, the dates, the wars, but maybe by my quitting today you will remember to be your best self. You find something you love doing. You do not take the easy route like Mrs. Stanley(ph), who has told me countless times that she only became a teacher to have summers off.
You know, I've always really cared about my students. I really love you guys. But I'm going home. I'm going to spend more time with the young person whose adorable cheeks I just, I want to squeeze every time I see them, my son. And I'm going to go do things I love. I'm gonna finish learning how to play "The Entertainer" on the piano, which I was doing until my dad stopped paying for lessons because he didn't like to hear me practice.
And I'm going to eat a lot of my favorite pie from Kowalski's(ph) because life is too short to have weird food rules. And I'm gonna finally finish writing an appropriate epitaph for a lovely dog. Ha! So, here I go to do my thing. I think my antidepressants just kicked in.
DAVIES: And that is our guest Laura Linney, starring in the Showtime series "The Big C." It's in its final season, on Monday nights. What a wonderful piece of writing that is.
LINNEY: Yeah, it was fun to do.
DAVIES: We see you change physically this season. Do you want to talk a little bit about that, how you got there?
LINNEY: Well, it was just, it was important to me that you actually see what's happening to her, that you see the cancer and that you can see how it changes people and then consequently how people respond to the change. So I cut my hair, which is something I've wanted to do for a very long time.
LINNEY: So I liberated myself from my youthful locks. And so I cut my hair, and then I lost a lot of weight. You know, and there is something about what happens to the soul of a person as they are battling with an illness, you know, the days where they're feeling weak, the days where they're strong, how that shifts and changes, what happens to the voice, how the body moves, breathing.
And you can see - more than seeing a disease, you see the life that's there and how the life is coping with the challenges that are happening to the body. So it was important to me that we not be afraid of that. Our hair and makeup people were wonderful, and there was a lot of work done there. And then, you know, I had the extreme privilege of washing it off.
DAVIES: We're speaking with Laura Linney. She stars in the Showtime series "The Big C." Its final season is underway. It airs on Monday nights. We'll talk more after a short break; this is FRESH AIR.
DAVIES: This FRESH AIR. Before we get back to our conversation with Laura Linney, let's hear a clip from "The Savages," the 2007 film she starred in with Philip Seymour Hoffman. They played a brother and sister grappling with how to care for their aging father. He'd abandoned them as children and was now suffering from dementia. In this scene, the siblings are arguing in a bar.
LINNEY: (As Wendy Savage) Maybe dad didn't abandon us. Maybe he just forgot who we were.
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN: (As Jon Savage) I'm going to give Brian Deener(ph) a call.
LINNEY: (As Wendy) Who's that?
HOFFMAN: A friend of mine, teaches in the English department. He just put his mother in a nursing home near campus. Can we get some more nuts?
LINNEY: (As Wendy) Nursing home?
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) Yeah. What?
LINNEY: (As Wendy) I wasn't thinking about putting him in a nursing home.
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) What were you thinking?
LINNEY: (As Wendy) I don't know, but I wasn't thinking that.
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) Where else is he going to live, Wen? I mean, really, what's the alternative? You want to change dad's diapers, wipe his ass?
LINNEY: (As Wendy) He doesn't need diapers.
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) I don't - what do you think that catheter was?
LINNEY: (As Wendy) He's in the hospital.
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) Look, even if they did let Dad stay here, he'd still have to have somebody take care of him. We can't afford that. You heard the nurse. Dad falls. He's disoriented.
LINNEY: (As Wendy) He hasn't fallen once since we've been here.
HOFFMAN: (As Jon) Don't make me out to be the evil brother who's putting away our father against your will. All right, we're doing this together, right? OK.
DAVIES: And that was from the 2007 film "The Savages." Now let's get back to my conversation with Laura Linney, now starring in the Showtime series "The Big C." You know, I recently watched, in getting ready for the interview, "The Savages," the film you did with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
LINNEY: Oh you did? Yeah.
DAVIES: Which is, of course, folks will remember that was where you - he's your brother, and you're dealing with your father, not a lovely guy, but who is getting old and demented and they have to put him into a nursing home. And, you know, you confront mortality.
And then in this, you know, for this long series, you've seen your character deal with this. Does you make you think about your own life and mortality?
LINNEY: Oh of course. I mean, the show came to me during a period of time, when it was first offered to me, where I was, you know, having real existential moments of thinking about time and the time that we have and that it is limited. It just is.
LINNEY: You know, it's human nature to, you know - thank God - not have it be the first thing that you think about every single second, but there is a reality to it, and, you know, as I've been aging, and parents are dying, and I've, you know, unfortunately lost friends who were way too young to go, you know, you realize what a privilege it is to age.
And it's not - that's not a message that we hear a lot in the United States.
DAVIES: You grew up in Manhattan. I know that your parents divorced early, and you lived with your mom. You had a relationship with your dad, who was the playwright and poet Romulus Linney. And it sounds like you got into acting really early, school, graduate school at Julliard. Did you always know you wanted to do this?
LINNEY: I did, I always knew, and I actually, you know, started - never professionally. My parents wouldn't let me work professionally, which was - I so appreciate that decision now. And it was something that I really had to earn and respect. But I was always in school plays. It was always my interest. I was a theater history major in college. I went to drama school after that.
So I was in school for a long time, and I loved it. I loved being in school. I mean, I would still be in school if I could be, I think, and in many ways I sort of conduct myself that way. I see work as kind of just a continuation of school. So it's something - I've been very lucky because I had a sense of, you know, not just a profession but a vocation early on, and it's never boring.
DAVIES: Right, I think your first job in theater was actually working in production at a theater in New England that your dad got you.
LINNEY: Yes, the New London Barn Playhouse. I worked there for a few seasons as a very underage technical apprentice. So I worked backstage for, you know, hours. I broke every child labor law there is, I'm sure, and had the time of my life. I loved it.
DAVIES: And your dad thought you would get bored of it. Instead, you couldn't get enough.
LINNEY: Oh yeah, oh yeah. No, I begged him. We were staying in New London, New Hampshire, and he had worked as an apprentice in the early '50s at the New London Barn Playhouse. Norman Leger, who ran the theater at the time, was an apprentice with my father in the '50s there. So my dad went to him and said look, Norman, my daughter wants to - you know, can you work her really hard for two days, and then she'll - you know, she'll come home.
LINNEY: And I worked really hard for two days, and I never left.
DAVIES: Did he want to keep you out of a career in the theater?
LINNEY: No, I don't think he wanted to keep me out. I don't think he - you know, they left me alone. Both parents were very, very smart about realizing that they had a child who was just crazy about the theater, and I was, just obsessed and crazy. I was a complete theater nerd. And they were very good about letting me have my own relationship with it and not being - they never discouraged me ever, but they didn't fast-forward my interest into a professional life.
DAVIES: I know you did theater for a long time and then got into film.
LINNEY: Still do.
DAVIES: Right, and I read that one of your early films, "Congo," the Michael Crichton film...
DAVIES: That you had a lot of time on location and that you used that time. You said you liked to - you always liked to be in school. You kind of went to school on the movie-making process.
LINNEY: I did. Well, I was - you know, I was always completely intimidated by film. You know, I was not the sort of person who grew up thinking oh, I want to be in the movies. I loved movies, I just didn't think I particularly belonged there, and I didn't understand it. So I was really intimidated.
So when "Congo" came along, you know, as sort of wild and what a crazy adventure movie with a bunch of monkeys, I realized OK, this would be my experience, my, you know, opportunity to be on a film set for six months. You know, the acting was not terrible complicated. Let's face it, it was not a...
LINNEY: There was not a whole lot to play there. So I thought, you know, I could learn what it is to be on a set. And I spent three weeks sort of with - I rotated from department to department. I was a bit of a pest. But I would go to the sound department and say, you know, can I watch you guys for the next three weeks. You know, when I'm not on set, can I sit with you? Can I see what you do? Can I see how this all works?
And then you - and then I went to the camera department, and then I went to special effects, and then I was - so I would have a sense of what arena I was working in. And it made me realize what was my job and what was not my job as an actress and how there was an entire army of people helping me out. And then I could take advantage of that and use - and lean on what they were offering. So it was a terrific experience. I loved it for that.
DAVIES: I wanted to talk about "The Squid and the Whale"...
LINNEY: Mm-hmm.
DAVIES: ...the film that you did in 2005.
LINNEY: Mm-hmm.
DAVIES: Noah Baumbach was the writer and director. In this - we're going to hear a scene. You and Jeff Daniels play a couple in New York in a failing marriage. He's sort of a pompous writer and professor and your writing career is taking off, and you have two sons, played by Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline. And in this scene you and your husband have separated, and I guess you're greeting the boys after school. Let's listen.
OWEN KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) Hey, mom.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) Hey, honeys.
KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) What are you doing?
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) Just changing things around a bit.
JESSE EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) I've come by to tell you I'm not staying here anymore.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) Why?
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) You know why.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) No, I don't.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Frank, do you know why?
KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) No.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) Why don't you tell me, Walt?
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Because you cheated on Dad.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) How'd you hear that? Your father told you.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Yeah. He told me. Why did you, Mom?
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) I was having a hard time.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Where were we during all this? Did you bring men home?
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) Not while - not - not when your father was in town. You actually met Richard, both you boys. He came over for takeout once. He talked about The Stones.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Oh god, under our noses like a brothel, men coming in and out.
KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) Walt, shut up.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman) If you want me to explain, I will.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) I don't want to hear about it.
KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) I do.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman)Well, Walt doesn't, so I'm not going to say anything.
KLINE: (as Frank Berkman) Walt can leave.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman)You disgust me. You weren't even a writer until recently. You just bailed on Dad because he's not as successful as he used to be and hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman)You sound like your father.
EISENBERG: (as Walt Berkman) Well, I'm glad I sound like him. You disgust me.
LINNEY: (as Joan Berkman)You're being a (bleep) Walt.
DAVIES: The laughter is not in the film. It is from our guest, Laura Linney, who is listening...
LINNEY: It's just such terrible parenting. It's just...
DAVIES: Yeah. Not the way you'd want to respond when you hear that kind of thing from your son, is it?
LINNEY: Yeah. No, let's overshare and then let's punish them.
DAVIES: Well, to remind our audience, that's "The Squid and the Whale," the 2005 film with our guest, Laura Linney. She's there with the kids, Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline. Did you love the script the minute you saw it? This...
LINNEY: I loved it. Oh, I read the script and I, you know, there's a wonderful thing that happens every once in a while where you open a script and three pages in, your sort of actor brain turns on and you start working on it and you don't even realize you've started working on it, you're not even just reading it. And it was just so good. But it took a long time to get made. So Noah, who I had known socially, you know, came to me and wanted me to be in it. I was just thrilled that he would want me to be a part of this. And then we had to wait for a long time to find the right partner, and Jeff Daniels, thankfully, came on board. And you know, it was made for the right reasons, it was made very modestly. I mean we were sitting on the sidewalk most of the time. It was during the spring and summer so it was really pleasant. We just had a great time.
DAVIES: Right.
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: And I think a lot of it was based on Noah Baumbach's own kind of experience with this, a kid of divorced parents, right?
LINNEY: Yes. Part of it was. And Noah's father and my father knew each other and were both - would both go to MacDowell and Yaddo and writers' colonies together, so they were from the same sort of culture and the same world. So we had that. I knew that world pretty well.
When you're growing up in the '70s and you have parents who are artists - and you know how difficult it is for them to be parents and be the sort of artists that were - that they were encouraged to be during that period of time culturally, it was not an easy mix.
DAVIES: Two of the actors in the scene we just heard are kids.
LINNEY: Mm-hmm.
DAVIES: Did you get surprises from them?
LINNEY: Oh, all the time. You know, someone can show up who's just so fresh. And they're open and they're, you know, smart and they're curious in a way that you can only be at that age. All the young people who I've been able to work with, you know, I've learned a lot from and so appreciate the time that they've given up to work professionally a little bit.
DAVIES: Can you think of something you've learned - particularly with the Jesse Eisenberg character. There's a lot of anger between you.
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: You slap his face at one point.
LINNEY: Yeah. Yeah. That's never easy. When you have a child actor and you're in situations that are either, there's a scene that, where violence, there's violence or there's sexuality or there's, it's - I feel responsible, you know, for that even though it's, you know, probably not my full responsibility; it's - they signed up to do it, but I do feel - my sort of maternal instincts do come out. (Laughing)
So I just try and make sure that, you know, time is spent and that everyone is comfortable and everyone knows what's happening and when it will happen and how it will happen and - because children want to please. They just want to please, and eventually someone has to step in and be an adult and say OK, I think we can do this in a different way or let's see what's the best way to proceed.
DAVIES: We're speaking with Laura Linney. She stars in "The Big C." It's the series on Showtime that's now in its last season and airs Monday nights.
You played Abigail Adams in the "John Adams" series on HBO - won an Emmy for it. Fascinating relationship and a fascinating woman. How did you prepare for that role?
LINNEY: Oh, I loved it. I had such a good time. Well, there's not, you know, there's, of course there's her writings and the letters that she wrote - you know, the famous letters between her and John Adams - and then there's not a whole lot about her. There are a few biographies which are pretty good and, you know, mentions of her in the biographies of Jefferson and other notables. So I sort of had to go to the sort of universal truths about just the dynamics of certain realities, such as what it's like when you become famous. You know, here was a woman who had grown up on, you know, grown up in Massachusetts and then she and John had their farm and she worked her farm very hard and she grew up in a hard-working, you know, the work ethic was incredibly strong, and then she went to Europe.
LINNEY: And what happens when you go to Europe for the first time? And then she came back from Europe and she was famous. And when you come off - when she came off that boat, they were famous. And what does that do to a person? How does that change you? And you know, she got a little blood in her mouth and I found that fascinating. I was like, oh, look at what's happening there. So while that has never been written about, those are just the things that you can see from history, actually what happened.
DAVIES: And did you identify with that experience - becoming famous?
LINNEY: A little bit. I mean I'm well known. I'm not the sort of person who walks out on the street and people scream...
LINNEY: ...scream my name. But there is, it's not a, I don't have a purely anonymous life, so I can understand a little bit. And I have some friends who are very, very famous and I certainly see how they - what they encounter on a daily basis, and the moments where you sort of lose reality about your size in the world and how that can change your thinking and then consequently change your behavior. So I was really interested in discovering those dynamics about her and just the reasoning of what her behavior would be like. You know, she had a son who was a terrible alcoholic and died of the disease and he was her favorite child. And there was a scene that we put in that we sort of came up with about the dynamic of how furious she would be with him. She goes to his home and she literally slaps him and says, you know, you get yourself together, in the way that a New England person would. So those were the more, it's asking questions about that kind of behavior and that sort of motivation that I find really interesting.
DAVIES: You know, it's a relationship she - Abigail and John Adams - as you see in the series, I mean she was his intellectual equal and partner, but it was also a real - there was real passion between them.
LINNEY: They loved each other. That was a...
DAVIES: They were truly in love, right.
LINNEY: Well, and they were the best of friends, and I think they trusted each other and they grew together, you know. And also, you know, he married up. She was the daughter of a minister and he married up.
DAVIES: Right.
LINNEY: I think you never really get away from that.
DAVIES: Right.
LINNEY: I think he always felt grateful to have her. I don't think he ever took her, he probably did take her for granted. It's a marriage, and you know, people, you know, swing in and out of that during the course of a marriage, but she grounded him and he knew it. He was smart enough to know it.
DAVIES: You know, I wanted to recall a moment. Paul Giamatti was on the show and we talked about the series.
LINNEY: Mm-hmm.
DAVIES: And I hope this doesn't make you uncomfortable. But I asked him about the scene where you and he - that is to say, John and Abigail Adams - had been apart for many months while he was in Europe.
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: And then you are reunited...
LINNEY: Years.
DAVIES: Yeah.
LINNEY: Years.
DAVIES: Oh, was it years? OK.
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: And so they're reunited and there's a scene of physical passion.
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: And I asked him about that.
LINNEY: Mm-hmm.
DAVIES: You know, you're wearing all these period clothes.
DAVIES: And asked him what was it like portraying 18th-century sex and he said, well, yeah, it was middle-aged 18th-century sex.
LINNEY: That's right. That's right.
DAVIES: And then he went on to explain. So let's listen to what he said.
LINNEY: Oh boy.
PAUL GIAMATTI: Yeah, you know, originally that scene, we were supposed to walk in, and it didn't go really beyond us just kind of kissing, and Laura and I talked beforehand about it and said why don't we just kind of keep going, and hopefully they'll keep going. And so we did. And we didn't know what we were going to do, really.
I had sort of talked to one of the - they had sort of historical consultants around, and a lot of those people did have sex with all their clothes on. They didn't remove - I think the French were the people who took all their clothes off, for the most part, but I don't know that Americans did at the time - at least this one person said to me.
So I had that in my back pocket, and I went yeah, we can - we'll keep our clothes on. The toughest thing was, what do you do with the wig? What is - how do you sort of - what's the deal with the wig? And we thought, well, maybe that's a kind of - Laura said maybe, you know, the bald head is a sort of erotic thing for the woman. So she does this kind of wonderful slipping of the wig off and rubbing my bald head.
You know, I don't know, we imagined a lot of it. We kind of made it up. But we really kind of just went for it without telling them we were going to do in the first take of it.
DAVIES: And that's where Giamatti, talking about a scene from the "John Adams" series on HBO, which he did with our guest Laura Linney. So did you come up with the baldy thing on the spot?
LINNEY: Yeah. We did. You know, that was part of the fun was seeing, you know, even though, I mean what makes historical drama accessible are those moments of what do you do. What would anybody do? And then that connects you very quickly. You know, what do you do with the wig?
LINNEY: And what happens when people who really love each other have been separated for - you know, you go to bed. I mean you do, that's what people who are passionate do when they've been longing for each other and missing each other and the relief of being in each other's presence, you, you know, jump in the sack. So those sort of things that were truthful to us, that we were able to then work into the story, was, you know, it was terrific.
DAVIES: Yeah. I mean I really love historical characters shown as real people in ways that...
LINNEY: Yeah.
DAVIES: ... that ring true and are believable, and that's one of many...
LINNEY: Well, because they can be terrible.
DAVIES: Right.
LINNEY: I mean those things could be terrible, like ye old buckle shoes and ye funny speak and, you know, they can be really awful. So it was, you know, and we did a lot of work on the script as the show was evolving and going, so it was a creatively exciting experience, it was adventurous. It was, you know, we had to reach, we had to really reach, you know, and stretch and work quickly and efficiently but creatively and it was, you know, it was really one of the most, you know, satisfying experiences I've had.
DAVIES: Yeah. Well, we've enjoyed having you.
LINNEY: Thank you.
DAVIES: Thanks so much.
LINNEY: My pleasure. Thank you.
DAVIES: Laura Linney stars in the series "The Big C," now in its final season. It airs Monday nights on Showtime. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Department of Transitional Assistance recognizes its success stories
TAUNTON — Taunton-area residents who have taken steps to escape poverty through state Department of Transitional Assistance programs were given a tip of the hat on Wednesday.
The Department of Transitional Assistance recognized 11 clients on Wednesday afternoon during a celebration event organized by the agency at the Taunton Public Library. The 11 women, mostly young mothers, were among a total of 64 clients from the Taunton area who were sent certificates, honoring them for taking steps to escape poverty while receiving assistance from the state's welfare system.
"I said to myself, 'You can't feel bad, because you are not alone,'" said Lovette Bailey, 22, of Taunton. "I needed help. I am not ashamed to say that I needed help."
DTA said that one out of eight people in Massachusetts receives help from the agency, which is a decrease from last year when the DTA reported that one out of six people received the agency's help. Last year, the average cash assistance provided by the DTA was about $450 per household, while the average Supplemental Transitional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit was $237 per household.
Lovette Bailey, of Taunton, said that she experienced nine months of homelessness with her young daughter before she was able to get help through DTA programs such as SNAP and cash assistance.
"The first day, I cried," Bailey said about her experience with homelessness.
Now, after completing a DTA internship program, Bailey is on the path to a higher education, she said.
"I am actually going to college in January to study psychology," Bailey said. "This job definitely gave me more skills for that."
State Rep. Shaunna O'Connell, R-Taunton, attended the DTA celebration and said that the stories of success are inspiring to her. O'Connell said she could relate to the women, having earned her GED, before graduating college, after growing up in a family that needed public assistance for a time.
"You inspire me and you will continue to inspire others to do wonderful things, so they can achieve successes you have achieved," said O'Connell.
The state representative also invited the women to call her anytime if they wanted meet, have a cup of coffee and talk about the subject.
"Having grown up in low-income housing, I am always happy to hear about the success of people who have been able to become self-sufficient in supporting themselves and their families," O'Connell said to the Taunton Daily Gazette.
Throughout her time representing the 3rd Bristol District, since 2010, O'Connell has called for reform to the state's welfare system. O'Connell has long pointed to cases of fraud and abuse, such as widespread trafficking of EBT cards, as reasons for better verification systems and enforcement.
"It has always been my goal to stop fraud and help those truly in need lift themselves out of poverty," O'Connell said. "It is my hope that my efforts over the past few years are helping to ensure the truly needy receive the help they need."
In March 2013, O'Connell attended another DTA event at the Taunton Public Library, right after current DTA Commissioner Stacey Monihan was appointed, following a report revealing the extent of eligibility errors that plagued the state's welfare system. The inspector general's report showed that the agency wasted $25 million.
During that meeting, O'Connell talked about getting complaints from police officers who called the DTA's fraud hot line to report cases of misuse, but got no results. Monihan pledged to enhance DTA systems to prevent the fraud.
O'Connell said a complete audit must now be undertaken to really determine the extent fraud and misuse that still afflicts the system, and whether DTA made any progress stopping it.
"As far as progress of DTA, I believe the only way to truly gauge that is with a complete audit, something I've been trying to make happen for the past year," O'Connell said. "I would hope DTA is confident enough in their work to endorse my initiative for an audit."
During the celebration on Wednesday, DTA Regional Director Paul Sutliff said seeing stories of success "reminds me why I work for the DTA."
Sutliff said the DTA clients could do anything they set their minds to.
Jazlyn Villanueva, another DTA client, told her story about being a single mother and a full-time student with three jobs. Villanueva said she now hopes to move on to be an advocate for children.
"I believe every child deserves high-quality education, and that's what I'm going to fight for with my career," Villanueva said.
Frantz Monestime, director of the Taunton DTA office, closed out the celebration by quoting Rocky VI, one of his favorite movies.
"'The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows," Monestime said. "'It's a very mean and nasty place. … It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. … That's how winning is done. If you know what you are worth, go out and get what you are worth, but you have to be willing to take the hits.'"

High School Sports Participation Increases for 24th Consecutive Year
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 20, 2013) — Participation in high school sports increased for the 24th consecutive year in 2012-13 and passed the 7.7 million mark for the first time, according to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
Based on figures from the 51 NFHS-member state high school associations, which includes the District of Columbia, sports participation for the 2012-13 school year reached an all-time high of 7,713,577 participants – an increase of 21,057 from the previous year.
An additional 15,190 girls participated in high school sports last year, moving the girls all-time record to 3,222,723 and marking the 24th consecutive year for an increase in the number of female participants. After its first decrease in 20 years last year, boys participation started on the upswing again with an additional 5,867 participants. The boys total of 4,490,854 is second all-time to the 4,494,406 in 2010-11.
"While we recognize that many schools are experiencing challenges with funding high school sports programs, we are encouraged that schools are responding to the challenges and that more and more students are involved in high school sports," said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. "Playing sports within the school setting continues to be the desire of more than 55 percent of students enrolled in our nation's high schools."
Eight of the top 10 girls sports registered increases in participation in 2012-13, led by competitive spirit squads (8,201), outdoor track and field (4,172), and swimming and diving (3,536). Lacrosse, cross country, volleyball, soccer and tennis also had additional female participants, while basketball and fast-pitch softball had minor declines.
Five of the top 10 boys sports showed increases in participation, led by outdoor track and field (5,044), swimming and diving (4,354), and basketball (3,387). Cross country and baseball also registered gains among top 10 sports.
Eleven-player football remains the top sport for boys with 1,086,627 participants in 2012-13, although the number of players has decreased slightly each of the past four years, including a drop of 9,366 from 2011-12 to 2012-13.
In terms of combined participation, track and field, and swimming and diving registered the best overall gains. Track and field had an increase of more than 9,100 participants when combining girls and boys, while swimming and diving was up almost 8,000 participants.
Girls sports outside the top 10 that recorded increases in participants and could be emerging sports for females are bowling (25,450 participants in 2012-13), ice hockey (9,447), wrestling (8,727) and flag football (7,019).
A sizeable increase in "adapted sports" participation also contributed to the rise in 2012-13 figures. With seven states offering these programs for students with disabilities in 14 sports, the number of participants rose almost 3,000 to 8,747 (girls and boys combined).
The top 10 states by participants remained in the same order as last year, with Texas and California topping the list with 798,333 and 777,545, respectively. The remainder of the top 10 was New York (389,475), Illinois (339,944), Ohio (327,919), Pennsylvania (315,492), Michigan (304,438), New Jersey (270,423), Florida (243,397) and Minnesota (230,421). Although only one of the top 10 states registered an increase in participation (New Jersey), overall, 30 states reported higher figures from the previous year.
The participation survey has been compiled since 1971 by the NFHS through numbers it receives from its member associations. The complete 2012-13 High School Athletics Participation Survey is attached in PDF format and is available on the NFHS Web site at www.nfhs.org.

BBB Watch: Holiday shopping lists focus on value, service
While everyone has their own holiday shopping list, two areas that seem to be important to everyone when purchasing gifts are value and service.
"In today's economy it shouldn't come as a surprise that value and service are highly prized in the consumer's mind," explained Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "Other factors that may have attracted a consumer's interest in better economic times are now way down on the list for most people faced with today's tougher economic reality."
In the BBB poll, more than 55 percent of respondents selected value and service aspects of a business as key attractions for holiday shopping. These were followed by "product selection" picked by 18 percent, "location" by 15 percent, and "ease and comfort of shopping at a business" by 12 percent.
"Value and service may mean different things to people in different economic categories. However, these two attributes appear to be a key focus for most shoppers," Bernas explained.
The BBB offers these other tips to consumers while holiday shopping:
- Review the return policies. Before making a purchase, ask the merchant about its refund and exchange policy. A store is not obligated to accept items for refund, exchange, or credit unless the item is defective or was misrepresented. It is important to know if there is a time limit to the return, usually it is 30, 60 or 90 days.
- Research the store. If you're interested in trying a new or unfamiliar merchant, check out its BBB Business Review. This will provide some detail about past company performance. These free Business Reviews are located at bbb.org.
- Understand the fine print. Be informed about your rights when placing orders through catalogs, mail order, TV shopping networks or online venues. Additional information on mail and telephone order shopping is available from the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Ask about delivery times, delivery costs and how returns are handled.
- Ask for gift receipts. When you are buying gifts there is always a chance that the item will not work out. Providing a gift receipt will make the return process smoother after the holidays.

Jim Hillibish: It's a party pizza without pizza overkill
We adore pizza, but it can be a tough take on party buffets. There they sit, those delicious, stomach-filling slices. One or two and we're full. The rest of those hard-labor hors d'oeuvres go to waste instead of waist.
But still, pizza always will be your most popular feature. I learned if I avoid it, somebody will always spoil things and bring one, or three.
There's only one way to offer a breath of pizza without excess at your buffet. Take a tip from your kids: pizza rolls.
These are the original portion-control pizzas. You can make the rolls as small as you wish, leaving plenty of room for the salmon tartare and the bacon encased chicken livers.
Here's an easy version made with frozen bread dough:
Pizza Poppers
1 loaf bread dough
1 pound ground beef or sausage
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon basil and oregano
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
4 cups pizza sauce
Roll out dough to a 14-by-24-inch rectangle 1⁄4-inch thick. Brown ground beef or sausage, stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon filling evenly onto dough, slightly pressing into dough. Roll dough lengthwise like a jelly roll and cut into 24 1-inch slices. Oil two rimmed baking sheets. Arrange slices an inch apart. Let sit for 10 minutes while oven heats to 400 degrees. Brush with milk and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until brown.
Serve with extra warm sauce and small dipper cups. Guard against hogging.

Revolving doors
The revolving door keeps spinning at Nixon Peabody.
Last year, state Rep. Jim Vallee abruptly quit his elected post to join Nixon Peabody to work in real estate and "government relations," which means lobbying his former colleagues (as soon as the law allows).
A week ago, Scott Brown gave up his political career to take a job in "government relations" with Nixon Peabody. Theoretically he could run for office again, but lobbyists don't tend to become candidates.
Now Gerry Leone has joined the parade. Next month he'll go from prosecuting criminals as Middlesex DA to defending them in Nixon Peabody's "government investigations and white collar defense" department.
I guess I don't begrudge these guys the money, and I have no reason to believe they delivered favors while in office that were rewarded with their cushy new jobs. I do wish Vallee and Leone had served out the terms they were elected to before going for the gold.
A more outrageous revolving-door story: When Jack Lew went to CitiGroup, the bank wrote into his contract a $500,000 bonus should he leave the firm to return to government service. A bonus for staying with a company is typical; a bonus for leaving is pretty strange – unless the motivation for the hire was to cement a friendship with the future Secretary of the Treasury.

Solar power in America is nothing new, but for residents to have the opportunity to bring it into their homes is a growing sustainable trend. Residential solar providers are expanding across the country, including to those in Cresson Township. While going through the selection might seem a bit daunting at first, there's no need to worry.

What solar energy means for your home in Cresson Township
You might hear a lot of myths about what installing a solar energy system can mean for your finances or ability to sell to your Cresson Township home. Getting the right information is essential in helping you make a sound decision about solar energy in Cresson Township.
What happens if I want to move to another city?
Installing a solar energy system might make residents nervous about their investment when it comes time to move to another place. If you need to make your way out of Cresson Township, residential solar installers such as SunRun will work with you to transfer your system to your next location.
What if I'm not ready to fully purchase a solar energy system?
Solar energy companies will often allow you to lease a system on a month-to-month basis. Payment models will depend on a variety of factors, including how much energy your home is currently using. If you are fully confident in the power of solar energy, companies will allow you buy your system upfront.
How much influence would my solar energy system really have on the environment?
This is a fair question, and the answer is greater than you might expect.
Even if just 5% of homes within the United States went solar, it could offset more than 89 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. Your home in Cresson Township would be a significant part of the solution toward a better future for future generations.
Start saving on your energy bills in Cresson Township today!
There's undoubtedly one thing that you'll notice when you install a solar energy system: big savings.
As energy usage continues to rise across the country, you can expect your utility bills in Cresson Township to keep on rising. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the nationwide electricity price is forecast, on average, to be 2.3% higher in 2017 than in 2016.
While savings might range from Cresson Township to other cities, you could save anywhere from $80 to $150 per month when you go solar. Over the course of 20 years, your decision to bring a solar energy system to Cresson Township could mean more than $20,000 in savings.

If you're lucky enough to buy Google Glass during the futuristic headset's beta program, you had better be happy with your purchase. Google's terms of sale for the Google Glass Explorer Edition forbids buyers from reselling, loaning, transferring, or just giving the device to any other person without Google's approval.
Google may even remotely deactivate the device if it finds its buyer is no longer in control of it. From the terms of sale:
You must be 18 years or older, a resident of the United States, and authorized by Google as part of the Glass Explorer program in order to purchase or use Glass Explorer Edition. Unless otherwise authorized by Google, you may only purchase one Device, and you may not resell, loan, transfer, or give your Device to any other person. If you resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google's authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the Device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the Device will be entitled to any refund, product support, or product warranty.
This provision is specific to Glass Explorer, an early adopter program in which developers and others selected by Google may pay $1,500 for the device. We've asked Google if a similar restriction will be placed on Glass when it becomes generally available, but the company declined to comment.
The terms of sale do indicate that Google will place at least some resale restrictions on Glass at general availability. The restrictions we quoted above came in a "Device Specific Addendum" that applies to the Glass Explorer Edition. In an earlier paragraph apparently referring to all versions of Glass, Google says, "You may not commercially resell any Device, but you may give the Device as a gift, unless otherwise set forth in the Device Specific Addendum." Thus, it sounds like people who buy the glasses at general availability later this year won't be forbidden from lending or giving the device away. Google also makes no mention of remotely deactivating the device except in the addendum specific to the Explorer edition (and in an unrelated section regarding lost devices).
As for how Google would know a device has been transferred, we presume one tipoff would be if it was switched from one Google user account to another.
Our friends at Wired reported on the bizarre restriction placed on the Glass Explorer Program yesterday. It has already affected at least one early purchaser of Glass. One man attempting to sell his Google Glass on eBay halted his auction after the purchase price had gone up to an astonishing $90,000. The man, "Ed," is disappointed about losing a big payday but is hoping he'll still be able to purchase the device and use it himself. "I'm willing to fork up the $1,500 for it," he told Wired.
Companies placing restrictions or nondisclosure agreements on early versions of products released solely to developers for the purposes of building third-party software is nothing new. This goes a bit beyond that, however. Glass's hardware specifications are not a secret like the specifications of a game console might be during its prototype phase. Glass is also being sold for $1,500, so it's priced like a consumer product even if it's just a prototype. And though Glass is being sold in only limited quantities, it's not restricted to developers—Google is selling it to a bunch of random people who responded to a query on Twitter. Those people presumably weren't asked to sign any agreements, although they could look up Google's restrictions in the terms of sale available on the Glass website.
Ed is one of those who gained access to the Glass Explorer Program through Twitter. "Because the only correspondence Ed has had with Google is the initial tweet about his acceptance into the program, he had no idea he wasn't allowed to sell his Google Glass, which he had been authorized to purchase for $1,500 in the coming weeks," Wired wrote.

Cold weather doesn't mean safe ice fishing
By MARK SPENCLEY
The foundation for ice fishing season will begin to form in the coming weeks, great news for the thousands of "hard water" fishing addicts that flock to northern Michigan each winter.
Cold weather has finally arrived, providing the necessary conditions for inland lakes to begin freezing over.
Ice formation is a complicated process, one fraught with variables. In a very rudimentary sense, ice formation occurs once the proper temperature is achieved and heat lost from the water can go into ice formation.
So, you can see a lot of variables are involved," said Jeff Halblaub, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gaylord. "The temperature of the air, the temperature of the water, the size of the body of water, all of that plays into how quickly ice forms."
Though it's difficult to predict ice formation for a given body of water, if the proper conditions are in place, ice can form quickly. A rough formula says if the average temperature is 30 degrees, it will take about four days to freeze four inches of ice.
Because of all the variables involved in ice formation, this is a ballpark assessment. Nevertheless, its clear that ideal ice forming conditions will soon settle in on northern Michigan.
Regardless of how solid ice conditions appear to be, safety precautions are a must.
The big thing is obviously the safety concern," said Sgt. Greg Drogowski, Department of Natural Resources officer who handles law enforcement in Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties. "People die every year breaking through the ice. It's tragic and not worth the risk."
Temperatures are expected to climb through the weekend and early next week before dropping back into the low 30s and high-20s to finish out next week. The days in the 20s are perfect for forming a layer of ice across area inland lakes.
Once ice starts to form, it can cover a lake in a hurry. Seeing a lake covered in a glare of ice is a tempting sight for anxious anglers, but the conditions beneath the ice are more important than surface appearance.
"A lot of these lakes have springs in them where the ice doesn't form the same," explained Drogowski. "Even if you know where the springs are, just wait until there's plenty of ice for it to be safe. Those fish are still going to be there in a week or however long it takes."
In most years, ice fishing is underway by the beginning of January, but judging ice conditions based on the calendar or forecast is dangerous.
Like Drogowski mentioned, springs and other variable affect ice formation differently on every lake. As a given rule, spring fed bodies of water freeze relatively slowly, as do large bodies of water. Weeds and other vegetation or protruding objects also delay freezing.
The only way to safely check ice thickness is to wait until plenty has formed and check the depth with a cordless drill or ice auger.
Here's an ice thickness chart created by scientists with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
— 2" or less - STAY OFF
— 4"-Ice fishing or other activities on foot
— 5"-Snowmobile or ATV
— 8"-12" - Car or small pickup
— 12"-15" - Medium truck
