Lucy was lovely.

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I've seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they're told they are supposed to be playing comedy.

I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.

I feel I'm an actress who sings a bit.

You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.

I'm not playing a role. I'm being myself, whatever the hell that is.

Lucy was lovely.

I can't imagine working without and audience.

Making lasting gifts for animals in our estate plans is perhaps the single most important thing we can do to ensure animals have the strongest possible voice for their protection.

After being in the business for such a long time, I've done everything but rodeo and porno.

PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness.

Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

No fruit. No veggie.

I'd never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me!

I believe that you're here on Earth for a short time, and while you're here, you shouldn't forget it.

I really feel all my adult life has been spent in that little black box. If a wonderful part on TV came along I would do it. But I don't want to do a recurring role. It would just be my luck that the thing would be successful. I'm old enough now and also secure enough financially that I really only want to do what I want to do.

I'm 5-feet-9, I have a deep voice, and I have a way with a line. What can I do about it? I can't stay home waiting for something different. I think it's a total waste of energy worrying about typecasting.

I'm very, very involved in charities involving youth.

I've seen so many excellent actors - excellent actors - who, the minute they're told they're in a comedy, turn into God knows what - creatures from another planet! I mean they just... the voice changes, they don't look the same, it's like - it has no similarity to any living human being, do you know what I mean?

In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.

My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression.

God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.

I am proud that my collections have received such praise, and I am even more proud to share the stage with so many talented designers.

I am a pretty tough nut, I guess, and I love art as one of the expressions that probably appeals to my softer side that a lot of people would deny I had.

Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.

Everything I wear is a do and everything else is a don't!

Money and Corruption Are ruining the land Crooked politicians Betray the working man Pocketing the profits And treating us like sheep And were tired of hearing promises That we know theyll never keep

In the corporate-owned media, men dressed like Ronald Reagan and women dressed like Rita Hayworth disseminate grotesque exaggerations and gossip in authoritative tones.

It's disturbing to people that the small David can disturb the big Goliath.

Perfection is terrible; it cannot have children.

So what do you desire to do? What do you really want to do as a person? You need to stop and document that; write it down; make a plan; and then God says, 'I'll direct your steps.'

In our country the lie has become not just a moral category, but a pillar of the state.

I have always heard, Sancho, that doing good to base fellows is like throwing water into the sea.

The thing that strikes you most about being a soldier in a war zone and in action to the small extent that I was, when actually people start shooting, which happened to me a couple of times, everything goes on automatic and there's a feeling of tremendous elevation and even elation.

We are sisters. We will always be sisters. Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song.

My mom's never been married. I've never even seen my mom kiss a dude.

Work all paled into the background as soon as I had a baby.

Once when I was 16 I had my car taken away from me for being past curfew. Oh, and I said a bad word once, and I actually did get my mouth washed out with soap.

Ultimately, you choose to be happy or miserable. The reality is that although you are free to choose, you can't choose the consequences of your choices. They're preloaded. It's a package deal.

All of my life, when things got too difficult, I folded up the tent and went to bed. I couldn't stand a challenge... I was terrified of confrontation. I was very laid-back, and just wouldn't get involved or fight back.

Hunger is sharper than the sword.

After mischance, everyone is wise.

The truth is, as you know, people like us look at what's happening in the world, and then we project it forward. We think, 'If I know A and B, then I've got to know that C and D are coming,' and that's kind of the way it's been with my fiction.

I get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.

Interviewing is not a democratic art.
