In Puppies Behind Bars, when the puppy is eight weeks old it is given to an inmate. The inmate is responsible for the dog.
I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.
You can't show me an ad on TV with hard bodies and say I have to buy that car. You have to tell me why that car is better and safer than another car.
You can call me an older woman - I don't mind that at all - just don't call me an old one, because I'm not.
It's okay to look back, just don't stare.
The minute you're born, you're getting older.
When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.

Just because you're over 40 doesn't mean you're not hot, or talented, ... Look who won!

I'm not a Southerner but, my God, my soul is, I think.
