I dont believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.

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'd spent ten years in London, writing and performing my own comedy shows. They gave me the Cheers [scenes], and I thought it was the springboard for chatting about the show, because in England, that's what you do. So I walk in, and I'm looking around, and Jimmy Burrows said, "What are you looking at? You're not here to have a conversation; you're here to audition."

I like men to be men and I like them to care about me and to take care of me. I'm willing to let them do that.

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

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.

If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.
