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.

If you were to find all the people I've worked with and ask them what they think of me, they're all just going to say, 'Oh, wonderful', and it'll just be a lot of blah.

To compare Whitewater to Watergate is a travesty.

You buy a new iPhone, a few months later, another new iPhone comes out, and you get online to buy another one. You can't get enough. You are addicted to Apple.

They know, the courts know, the people know that they have no way of changing the results as it affects them.

Poetry is a special use of language that opens onto the real. The business of the poet is truth telling, which is why in the Celtic tradition no one could be a teacher unless he or she was a poet.

Was I involved in selling drivers licenses to people illegally? Hell no I wasn't. Would I have tolerated it? Hell no.

Words are as strong and powerful as bombs, as napalm.

'Up the Junction' went on to inform my love of British social realism. It was the first film I saw of this ilk, a very stark, visceral reflection of England, an England I didn't necessarily feel a part of but that I knew was out there. You could almost smell the bread and butter and cabbage.

The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens - raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born.

Life is funny when you are young you want to be older and those that are older wish to be younger.

I studied with the idea of becoming a Catholic priest.

The white men in the East are like birds. They are hatching out their eggs every year, and there is not room enough in the East, and they must go elsewhere; and they come out West, as you have seen them coming for the last few years.

What nerds miss is that it takes hard work to make sales look easy.

When you blame others, you give up your power to change.

Fiction is often most powerful when the author is exploring an issue - and not writing like a know-it-all who has the perfect answer.

It is through accomplishment that man makes his contribution and contribution is life's greatest reward.

Our ownership in Christ is documented in the Word of God, and our names are registered in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Just as a broken arm needs a cast we too need support mechanisms in order to make it through difficult times.

I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room.

The great earthquake shall be in the month of May Saturn Capricorn Jupiter Mercury in Taurus Venus also Cancer Mars in zero.

People often swear the first time they see my work. I like that.

One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

Although we take it for granted, sanitation is a physical measure that has probably done more to increase human life span than any kind of drug or surgery.

America: Where a man can say what he thinks, if he isn't afraid of his wife, his boss, his customer, his neighbors, or the government.
