I think about death. I don't want to die with clothes in the cleaners.

I love my parents and they're wonderful people, but they were strict, and I still look for ways to get even. When I got my own apartment for the very first time and they came to stay with me for the weekend, I made them stay in separate bedrooms.

My mother always said you could eat off her floor; you could eat of my floor too, there's so much food down there.

When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.

Real comedy can't be learned; it comes from a need for justice. The best who stand up, stand up for something.

I didn't get a high school diploma. I really didn't have much of an education, which left me open to educating myself throughout my life, without the limitations on intellectual curiosity a formal education can impose. I followed what interested me.

I have always put my own money into Tails of Joy. For years, every time a dog walked by, my husband would say, 'There goes our beach house.'
