In a school where everyone is famous or rich or whatever, you have a culture, 'What does your dad do?' 'What does your mom do?
I've seen wonderful stay-at-home moms and moms who could use a little improving.
Motherhood is the only thing in my life that I've really known for sure is something I wanted to do.
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'm just a woman in love with another woman.
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.
I have low self-esteem, but I express it the healthy way... by eating a box of Double-Stuff Oreos.
I don't even want to go back to '81.
[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.
