Honestly, I have had to live like a high priestess in this show. It is a very, very lonely life. When you work the way I work - that means hard - there's no time for play.

Dancing, as Fred Astaire said, is next to ditch-digging. You sweat and you slave and the audience doesn't think you have a brain in your head.

I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers.

I did not get Botox because you wouldn't see any expression in my face. Hopefully it has paid off.

Now with tabloids and seeing people walking around in sweats pumping gas you're like, 'Okay, they're just like us.'

I don't want to work all of the time.

If theres something decent going in television, the mediums now are kind of equal. Television has become much higher quality.

I'm just looking for a kind of project that will have a decent role and is something that I'll really enjoy doing. There are a lot more opportunities in television.

There are great characters on television.

The thing is, you don't want to overact or be full of yourself.

Luckily because I had a family and children, my priorities changed. I mean, I'm very passionate about my work but I have other interests and other things that balance my life.

Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

You only see what you want to see

What one exorcises in this [imagery] way at little cost, and for the price of a few tears, will never in effect be reproduced

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

I was about one drink away from my limit, In came a black dress with a black body in it, She looked so timid, it took me a minute To get her in focus

Once you get that two-way energy thing going, everyone benefits hugely.

Everyone has a moment when they discover they love Amy Poehler.

Such a muddy line between the things you want/And the things you have to do.

It's the wanting to know that makes us matter.

Humor is the only thing that allows you to survive every pressure and crisis.
