Children have a way of forcing you back into the present moment.

One of the oddities about being Judy Garland’s daughter was that everyone treated my mother with such awe that they would never have asked me the normal questions kids get about their moms.

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I signed on to work with a wrestler.

Well, for someone who looks like me you wonder where Alfred Hitchcock is.

It’s not that I really hate the clothes, I just don’t like all the polyester. And the bell-bottoms – the big ones – are pretty bad.

My husband and I enjoy going into a house and remaking it, top to bottom, from the structure it was to the home we want it to be.

Stardom isn’t a profession; it’s an accident.

I’m good at being sarcastic with guys. They don’t want the quiet, prissy little things.

Playing good girls in the 30s was difficult, when the fad was to play bad girls. Actually I think playing bad girls is a bore; I have always had more luck with good girl roles...

Neither of us, me nor Dennis, is cavalier about a breakup. We both behaved very honorably.

I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible.

I welcome turning 30 because I like approaching the beginning of something instead of the end. I’m at a really good place and feel grounded.

Home life is a foreign environment for most guys. So it’s natural to show them being idiots at home.

You don’t forget the movies, but you forget the details of them.

Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.

I’m not for gratuitous nudity, but if there’s humor, I don’t have a problem.

I can’t deny the fact that you like me! You like me!

With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it’s possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.

Well, there are other aspects, I still command very good support in the party.

We can’t compare stories. We can only know in our hearts that we are the same. That may be the best we can do.

I don’t enjoy other people’s dramas, and I don’t enjoy mine.

It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.

I have no desire to carry a movie.

Growing older doesn’t bother me.

I’m more attracted to a stronger man rather than a feminine man. Someone who would just throw me down and take control. I love feeling helpless. I definitely like a man who is aggressive and...

I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.

My husband and I have had a commuter marriage our entire marriage, with the exception of the one year I was pregnant and stayed home.

I’ve always been interested in taking pictures. I’ve enjoyed taking classes in photography, and I’m building a darkroom in my home.

I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.

The one thing I missed was never having children. It just wasn’t in the cards, I guess.

I had grown up accustomed to living a life of high drama.

When I look back at The Judy Garland Show, I have such mixed feelings. It broke my mother’s heart when they canceled it.
