Well, I have a lot of food references in my work.

At 15, I knew someone whose mother cooked macrobiotic, so I persuaded my mother to go macrobiotic with me.

I've been known to throw watermelons, backstage, at people who are giving me news I don't want to hear. But I never aim for the head.

I don't really cook. There are caterers, and my husband cooks.

If you sing to the mermaids, they come when you're drowning.

I think doing variations on a classical theme is a dangerous thing to do.

There are quite a few very funny people in my life. You know those people who don't mean to be funny, they just come out with these zingers that just make you howl with laughter. Usually you find these people in the road crew. A good crew is a key to a healthy funny bone.
