No fruit. No veggie.

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.

Egotism, n: Doing the New York Times crossword puzzle with a pen.

In fact I think now we've reached a point now, where the powers that be really have sort of vested interest in all of us being stoned out as much as possible all the time so we don't know what's going on, and we don't care.

It's against type in the sense of my background, but it's with type in the sense that I am a loner who's new to this business and sceptical about a lot of it.

I'm in a position now where I can play certain roles and when I get older, I won't be able to. So, I don't have a strategy of trying to grow up too quick, I just want to kind of look at everything.

I am a well-loved and well-respected person.

My love for you was bulletproof but youre the one who shot me.

Getting permission to use a drone in Egypt was problematical.

I'm always most comfortable in the studio. It's my comfort zone. I love being there, and I love making records.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.

I tend to play characters that aren't supposed to black or written black.

For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.

I am not going to make any commitments to the teachers union to do anything until they do something that's other than in their own self- interest. And everything they have done so far is in their self-interests, and that's it.

It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions; they have their place in heaven also.

Terrorism works better as a tactic for dictatorships, or for would-be dictators, than for revolutionaries.

You never ask why you've been fired because if you do, they're liable to tell you.

We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them.

I see things completely differently now.

To treat a poor wretch with a bottle of Burgundy, and fill his snuffbox, is like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back.

I don't have a lot of style icons. There are not a lot of people today who I look to.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

There are not that many new media brands you can say that about nowadays.

In the nude, all that is not beautiful is obscene.

When I was younger, I wanted my hair to look like Molly Ringwald's.

People aren't used to thinking of cultural forms spreading out across the full range of formal interactions - or what is called the "text" in literary terms.
