We never heard of tape. Everything was live, live, live.

We were with Frank as part of his very last tour.

It was very hard for all of us. It's still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed, and every single one of his friends, still, after all these years... it's unbelievable.

I learned my phrasing from Frank. I loved him so much.

When he came back from downtown, he had forgotten to bring his license, his identification, the $2 for the wedding license. So we got married two days later.

Steve has the most unbelievable range for a man that I've ever heard.

We never rehearsed.

We never heard of tape. Everything was live, live, live.

I felt we really couldn't be separated that much. I'd had a baby, and I was traveling and working alone while he was in the Army. It was very difficult-the phone calls and all of that. I really was very depressed.

There was one year that I was on the road.

There are so many questions to be answered and so many personal compliments that we appreciate so very much.

Everything has changed. The flying changed. The airports have changed.

Now we have an audience that is so very eclectic. Big, tremendous fans.

Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.

I had a lot of what they call turntable hits. A lot of them.

Before we got married, I had tremendous ambition. Once we got married and I started having children, then I just thought that that was my real life. Steve was definitely more ambitious than I.

A lot of the really great stuff fell between the tracks.

So many have been growing with us from the very beginning of our career. Others are brand new to us.

We were at the Schubert Theater for two years. And we were the first act.

My voice right now, hey, listen. I don't know how long it's going to last.

I don't like schools. And I mean, you have to call on all your friends to get them into their schools.

It was very hard for all of us. Its still very hard. The anniversary of his death just passed and every single one of his friends still after all these years... its unbelievable.

I made it a morning show. We have the coffee cup, we have the morning papers. It's got that feel to it, that's what I wanted.

I was scared many times on Everest, but this is all part of the challenge. When I fell down a crevasse, it was pretty scary.

Fear is a problem with film music and films; people want to be conventional, and there's more commercialism today. If you are not daring in your art, you're bankrupt.

There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.

In order to work well, markets need a basic level of trust.

If men liked shopping, they'd call it research.

Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.

A show like 'True Detective' is definitely a drama.

There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.

A creative and artistic home is what I've been looking for in the theatre.

I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I'm from Miami, which wasn't getting looked at at the time. Three, I'm Cuban. But now, I've made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.

A dinner invitation, once accepted, is a sacred obligation. If you die before the dinner takes place, your executor must attend.

Men are easy to get but hard to keep.

To me, 'Educating Rita' is the most perfect performance I could give of a character who was as far away from me as you could possibly get and of all the films I have ever been in, I think it may be the one I am most proud of.

My humor is my creativity, and my skepticism is a gift.

I hope to see more programming, more shows, more actors of mixed ethnicity, more young kids of mixed ethnicity choosing to be in the entertainment industry.

Power is not alluring to pure minds.

The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.

Invention depends altogether upon execution or organization; as that is right or wrong so is the invention perfect or imperfect.

Relatable escapism can only be achieved using facets of the real world.

Theology is endlessly interesting in that you can study it without believing in anything. I do believe, but you don't have to. I got very caught up in the 11th-century monasticism and the Cistercians. My dissertation was about Aelred of Rievaulx and one of his books.

Consumers used to think they had to compromise with solar. It was, 'Okay, I'm doing the right thing for the environment; it's cool to see the panels. I have to compromise on the cost and convenience side.' And now they no longer have to. On the cost side, it's cheaper, and on the convenience side, we set it all up.

True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited but in adversity they come without invitation.

Sometimes listening is of greater value than speaking.
