I would never presume to give anyone advice.

I don't drink liquor, but I do like chocolate ice cream soda.

Was it love at first sight? It wasn't then - but it sure is now.

I was a dedicated, boring student. The last thing I wanted was to be a comedienne.

If you can't hurt the other person at least once a day, then you've got no relationship.

Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all that confusion seriously.

One time I laughed so hard, I just had to go and change my pantyhose. I lost it. Lost it. At least it wasn't onstage.

People never know what's going on while it's happening. You think, during the Renaissance, people called it 'The Renaissance'?

Families interest me - I'm part of one; most of us come from one. And I'm curious about the choices made in life, how they affect things, and how those choices happen.

My mother loved movies, and I loved movies like she loved movies. So I wanted to do that. I'd send away for movie magazines - the old thing of everybody wanting to be a star or whatever.

I love documentaries and the computer. I am a little addicted to the computer, and that relaxes me. I find information, I shop, and I look up people I worked with to find out if they're dead or alive.

I started to respect older actors when I was young and then contemporary actors later on. Then I learned respect for comedy. When I was first doing theatre, I thought of it as just a means to become Sarah Bernhardt or someone like that. But acting with young people has been a great learning experience.
