Abortion is a hard thing for Hollywood to deal with because it is so controversial and you don't want to alienate half your audience by sending one message or the other.
I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.
Women are half the population and they know how to take care of themselves, if they are only given access to health care.
We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult, she's not paying attention anymore.
I was actually in the midst of breakfast, and Angela Tarantino, who does publicity at HBO, called me -- very excited, shrieking into the phone. It was very nice. ... 'Sex and the City' won last year, which was so exciting, but Sarah and I weren't out there because we are doing plays in New York. So you can be sure we will be there this year with bells on this time around.
Doctor: Your right ovary has stopped producing eggs. Miranda: Is it possible it's just on strike?
They sent me the script and I was really charmed by it and I signed on.
Samantha: All married couples stop having sex eventually. Miranda: That's not true, you've had sex with plenty of married people. Samantha: That's how I know!
Miranda: I just got Brady to sleep. Dr. Leeds: Now, do you sing to him? Miranda: Only if he's been bad.

[My mother] worked in the Seagram's Building; it's kind of an iconic '60s skyscraper on a floor so high that your ears popped. And all the women - the whole thing was so very Mad Men, very glamorous.
My mother had me on four times [on TV show To Tell The Truth.]. Four times. Only once as a contestant, but they had a bunch of kids on at the beginning [of some shows], playing with toys or things like that.
My mother worked on a whole bunch of those; she worked on What's My Line?, I've Got A Secret, Play Your Hunch... In my memory, she worked on To Tell The Truth. So it was her job to brief the imposters.
Eleanor Roosevelt was painfully shy, painfully shy. So she overcompensated. In the same way that Nancy [Reagan] felt unattractive and unlovable and so everything had to be - hair had to be perfect, and the makeup and the clothes. Because she thought, "They don't think I'm pretty."
