I'm like a bumper car. When I did an infomercial I was fodder for every TV comedy show. I couldn't get a job. People said I was a huge joke. I've been a joke so many times. I've been on my way out since I started, but I'm strong-willed. My mother is so much tougher than I am and my grandmother is so much tougher than my mother.

Men are a luxury, not a necessity.

In my personal life I'm not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man's world, I'm really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I'm willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.

If you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

Where's my white collarless shirt from Fred Segal? It's my most capable-looking outfit!

I've been up and down so many times that I feel as if I'm in a revolving door.

I went through absolute stress and mayhem. I couldn't go out, because people were constantly on my back all the time.
