I love being a mother...I am more aware. I feel things on a deeper level. I have a kind of understanding about my body, about being a woman.

I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.

The Cheers writers were the finest in television. But I felt like I was repeating myself; it bothered me a little bit. And I was getting movie offers, which made people think, "Oh, she's so snooty. She thinks she's going to do movies."

It's harder to write two people happy and in love than two people fighting and driving each other crazy.

I was not a womanizer; I didn't date a lot. If I kissed somebody, I was basically married from that point on.

I can't say I based [Carla] on anybody I knew. She was so foulmouthed and mean, just said what was on her mind. So I guess Carla is somebody I always wished I could be at the right moment, the one who always has the perfect comeback.
