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

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

I'd never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me!

I'm not playing a role. I'm being myself, whatever the hell that is.

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.

I really cut my teeth on off-off-off Broadway shows.
