Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

I was raised in the theater and, as it turned out, a TV show was like performing a new one-act play. So, it was really no different.

You know, I spend most of my life turning things down. There's a lot of crap out there.

I wish there was something more that performers could do other than get out there and sing at benefit performances. I wish I felt that if I had an empty room I'd like to bring in someone and make it a hospice, but I'm not Mother Teresa. I can't do that.

In sitcoms, the women are so beautiful, understanding and well-bred. They have humor, but sort of display it with a twinkle of the eye and not a guffaw. But there's no juice in that for me.

I come from a small town in Maryland. I came to California in 1972 to begin Maude.

I believe that you're here on Earth for a short time, and while you're here, you shouldn't forget it.
