god power
I'm God because I have the power to control my mind.
I wish I'd done a tenth year of the 'Roseanne' show.
trade
They're all mine. . . . Of course, I'd trade any one of them for a dishwasher.
work
Anyone with a show on T.V. will tell you it's backbreaking work. And if you have a big personality, which I have, and you're a perfectionist, there's going to be head-butting.

I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of people...that's why I don't like any of them.

mom mother father
TV family sitcoms have always been about fathers who know best and mothers who are so enchanted with everything they do. I wanted to be the first mom to be a mom on TV. I wanted to sent out a message about how us women really feel.
dad comedian tvs
When I used to watch comedians with my dad, he laid it all out for me. He wanted to be a comedian himself, and he was so funny. We'd watch stand-up on TV, and he'd tell me the subtext of what they were saying.
