I never felt cynical, and I never felt that I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

I think the reason I was successful is that I was never cynical.

I never regretted turning down anything, I never regretted losing a job because I always felt something else was out there.

My childhood was rough, we were poor and my parents were alcoholics, but nobody was mean. I knew I was loved. We were on welfare, but I never felt abandoned or unloved.

I wanted to be on Broadway, but in musical comedy.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.
