So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was...

I was popular. I wasn’t the most popular. But I definitely held my own.

Ali… we should have gone to see that movie. Malcolm X was another one.

I think to have done TITANIC would have been a tortuous experience altogether. I feel good about where my life is, now. I feel free and joyous and happy and more liberated than I have...

The high point of my entire junior high school career was going backstage to meet George Harrison. I was simply awestruck.

And I’ve been married, I have a daughter.

I got cocky and I stopped taking my vitamins. It was an inconvenience to have a suitcase full of vitamins with me on the road. About two years ago, it caught up with me.

There are not many roles where women are really active.

I have fans all around the world.

I just think it’s fun to remind people that good television has exited and it can exist again and just to give them pleasure and enjoy it and make them laugh.
