It takes a mighty good man to be better than no man at all.

Certainly if we hope do enhance and extend whatever natural assets we were given, we must expect to make an effort, if not actually great labor.

We don't have the family organization the way we used to. My father lives with us because we have the room. The greatest of all opportunities for our children is a complete family unit.

I have never met a happy atheist. I believe in separation of church and state, but I think we have gone so far over in the other direction of separating church and state.

You have to take a huge loss financially to do a play. You have to put aside the commercials and the speeches and the other things that put money on the table, and really save up to do it. And that's what I've done here. But it's worth it to me to be in a really good play.

Eventually I lost the idea that I could have a career. I thought I was too old.

The show was written just for us. We all thought we were the prettiest and the funniest.

My mother won't tolerate any four-letter words.

With my first two husbands, I always kinda sensed they thought there was something wrong with me. Maybe I was too flighty or whatever.

I believe that the dissolution of a marriage comes about by the breaking down of self-esteem.
