Sometimes I just wish I had a day off. I really need to clean my room.

I’m very involved in the writing on every level.

I don’t condemn anyone for making their choices. If someone chooses those roles, fine. But not for me. When someone stops me and says, You’re the reason I became an actress, that lets me know...

Even at al my mother’s concerts, I had never seen people go crazy the way they did with the Beatles.

The most memorable night of The Judy Garland Show for me was the night my mother pulled me out of the audience and sang to me onstage.

And sometimes I do films so my daughter can see me work.

Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I’m not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.

I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would...

But now that I’m a blonde, guys are so blatant about coming on to me.

When not much is happening and there seems to be nothing you can do to change that, you do wonder. But I am an actor, like it or not. I stuck with it and took...

But when you’re in something together, it’s very hard to be objective and you’re very subjective.

One reason we lasted so long is that we usually played two people who were very much in love. As we were realistic actors, we became those two people. So we had a divertissement: I...

You know what I would really like to do? I’d like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it.

It was more that his career was going down again and he was tired of the songs. He was tired of the routine. And there was a point where he just kind of gave up....

It’s also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I’m not the only actress out there, and good parts just don’t fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the...

I just have always felt that I think we know that it’s an ensemble show, and it’s very hard to pick a show to submit when you’re nominated, because usually everyone has a very strong...

I don’t like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.

I was just glad to be going to work again.

I really always felt that I was going to be an actress. I had a lot of confidence in the fact that I would do well from a very early age. I didn’t know how...

Goldie is like a neon light and I am not.

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real, amazing, dramatic story. Then I did a movie called...

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I’m an old hippie from San Francisco.
