There is a dark side. I tend not to be as optimistic as Mary Richards. I have an anger in me that I carry from my childhood experiences - I expect a lot of myself and I'm not too kind to myself.

I wouldn't want to enter into a relationship in which there was this inhibiting factor that said it can never be forever.

This has been a wonderful life, absolutely terrific. There are very few things that I would go back and do differently, if I had that control.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy. I don't know how to do the other, so I won't consider television until the audience's taste changes.

I can't imagine a pain more all-encompassing than losing a child.

I would surround myself with people who know what they're doing.

When you're doing a television series, unless you really pay attention to your life, it doesn't leave very much time for anything else.
