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.
If you make the decision to send your kid to public school don't even look at private schools. Just shut the door. Just turn off the TV. And then you don't even have to worry about preschool. You have to worry about what's good for your kid, but you don't have to worry about how to position yourself.
I did an after-school special as my first big thing. It was starring Butterfly McQueen. She was the name. But the real star of it was Robbie Rist, who was that little blond kid who looked like John Denver.
Even in Kitty Kelley's book, which is so negative, they talk about, as with all first ladies, that Nancy Reagan is constantly around to take photo ops with kids.
Nancy Reagan, when presented with kids with really painful disabilities and deformities, she was completely undaunted.
Nancy Reagan would just run up to these kids [with really painful disabilities and deformities] and hold them and pick them up... because I think she felt so judged all the time and she felt so unlovable.
Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.
Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
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!
Doctor: Your right ovary has stopped producing eggs. Miranda: Is it possible it's just on strike?
Miranda: I just got Brady to sleep. Dr. Leeds: Now, do you sing to him? Miranda: Only if he's been bad.
I have low self-esteem, but I express it the healthy way... by eating a box of Double-Stuff Oreos.
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 don't even want to go back to '81.
