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.

Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.

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."

I'm a real 'go, go' person... I'd make myself crazy by pushing too hard. It's important to pull pack the reins a little bit and get in touch with what's inside.

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

I was too terrified to notice she [Shelley Long] had breasts. I do remember that I was eating a sandwich.

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