People had been so attached to the Diane [Cheers] character that audiences and producers found it difficult to think of me in any other terms. It took some time before people would consider me for other parts.

I really felt sometimes like I was physically pulling the plot, and it was heavy. I'm sure it didn't look great that I was going into my dressing room at lunch.

In television, and especially in a situation comedy, you kind of play yourself, or at least the essence of yourself.

If brains were money, you'd need to take out a loan to buy a cup of coffee.

Everyone wants the two characters to be together, but then once they are, it's not that much fun.

I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.

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.
