I never had migraines. Never had migraines.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.

It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

But I thought love would more than prevail.

And I told her point blank, you've got everything to live for. You've got such talent. You're back singing great, lose the weight. And she went and did it, and look at her now!

Yeah, she was hitting me hard. She was drunk and she was hitting me hard.

No, but Liza took went and took away from me, possibly my livelihood.

I don't have to announce all the women I've slept with.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your manliness.

She was making great money at personal appearances.

I never had migraines. Never had migraines.

I knew I couldn't solve it. Because I couldn't figure out what made her drink when things were going well.

Because I would give it all back to have my health.

No one should have to live like that when they've done only good things for the person.

I can help a lot of other people who've gone through the same thing by building a center that will help men and women who don't have the funds to take care of themselves and get the medical treatment.

She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over.

And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.

On stage, don't go near her. She's the best performer in the world.

It looks like I'm this huge shark going in for the kill... I don't know what I was thinking.

But when alcohol comes in, start running. Because there's a demon there, and it goes back to her childhood.

I'm into women. I've always loved women.

I was already set for life when I met her.

I'm really excited that I'm able to work again.

I was naive enough to think that I could make the difference.

But she told me she was never going to drink again.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head.

Liza, I love you more than any words can say. You have made me a complete person. You are everything to me. And I cannot think of living life without you. And I love you forever.

She bit my bodyguard. She bit him in the stomach.

I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He'd let her have more and more booze until she passed out.

I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.

And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.

I sit down with my coach to watch past performances. But I can be very critical. I don't watch myself very often - it makes me cringe!

It's important for a villain to be as threatening as possible, whether physically, mentally or emotionally... however you want to do it. If you can combine all three, well, that's the ultimate villain.

Freud is the father of psychoanalysis. It had no mother.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

I didn't work for a year and a half after 'Melvin and Howard' because all I was being offered was silly parts.

There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.

I don't know if I really watched any Disney animation as a kid.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

I'll never forget the time my mother showed up with her best friend and two daughters, and all four of us dressed up in matching clothes, shoes and hats to go pick up my brother from school. I thought it was a fun thing to do, but we stepped outside my brother's school and he was mortified!

My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.

The Berlin Wall wasn't the only barrier to fall after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Traditional barriers to the flow of money, trade, people and ideas also fell.

Abortion on demand has, in my judgment, contributed significantly to an environment in our country in which life has become very cheap.

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

Eventually you love people - friends or lovers - because of their flaws.

TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.
