Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that`s really about it.

I don`t go to places where I`m going to get mobbed.

I have been dairy free for several years, and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies, which it did, and help me lose weight, which it did.

I`ve gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.

Life is precious and there`s not a lot of room for anger.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

My clothes are predominately black and my home is predominantly white.

I`m very involved in the writing on every level.

It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens.

I`ve lived, laughed, lost, and loved again the whole Shakespearian thing.

If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.

Every time you go to the doctor and get a good report, the odds keep staking more in your favour.

I have no idea why this decision was made, and I have much regret that the audience that supported us all these years will be shortchanged.

I was popular. I wasn`t the most popular. But I definitely held my own.

I was always loving, involved with charities and family, and I had a rich life before. Now, I have a purpose. I got sick maybe for this reason.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it`s hard to go back to sleep.

Who would make this up? [upon constantly being asked if her voice is real]

I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.

If we don`t empower ourselves with knowledge, then we`re gonna be led down a garden path.

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I`ll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore.

I`m very committed to changing legislation to broaden the scope of women`s health care but, at the same time, I want to live my life to the fullest.

Since my illness, I`ve felt the presence of my angels.

Think peace.

I`ve lived three lifetimes in my short time.

People lived in the same apartments for years. You`d meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you`d still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood.

I like writing better. Because I don`t have to wear makeup, I don`t have to be thin, and I don`t have to remember lines.

Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow.

Well, every time I get ready to do a job I want to lose weight.

And remember, it`s also very funny, because side by side with grief lies joy.

Though I`m not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

It took me a long time to recover, so my close friends and my family stayed with me. I was in a place in my life were I was really ready to reach out.
