The closest I ever came to a menage-a-trois was when I dated a schizophrenic.
My mother buried three husbands - and two of them were only napping.
I don't like when there's too much conversation because I'm shy and it makes me uncomfortable.
Buying something on sale is a very special feeling. In fact, the less I pay for something, the more it is worth to me. I have a dress that I paid so little for that I am afraid to wear it. I could spill something on it, and then how would I replace it for that amount of money?
I don't plan to grow old gracefully. I plan to have face-lifts until my ears meet.
Never play peek-a-boo with a child on a long plane trip. There's no end to the game. Finally I grabbed him by the bib and said, "Look, it's always gonna be me!"
My Vegas act is how I make my money.
Human nature is largely something that has to be overcome.
I found out I had a real love for comedy and comedy writing. The logic was, there weren't too many female comedians, so I thought I might as well try a field that had fewer competitors than the field I was in, which was acting, singing and dancing.
