My interesting diet tips are eat early and don't nosh between meals. I mean, I can pack it away.
You know, one wonderful thing that came out of my Enquirer experience is that, in my case, it was ruled tabloids are magazines. Which means they didn't have the protection that a newspaper has.
Daddy, when he drank, just became sweeter. There wasn't a mean thought in his body. I've always said he was like a drunk Jimmy Stewart.
I've always been able to recount things and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.
It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.
Well, I don't know how astute I am, but I did want to be a journalist when I was growing up.
My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.
I have a great memory.
I don't eat much meat, fish, or poultry.
I always felt that I was more of an actress than a - I can't tell a joke to save my soul, but that I was a comedic actress.
I always preferred working with somebody so I could look into their eyeballs and play tennis.
I love to write. I have always loved writing. That was my first love.
Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.
As far as sitcoms go, I thought Jenna Elfman in 'Dharma and Greg' was a wonderful physical comedienne who had great timing.
