A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn`t mean she can`t have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable.

If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in your life.

In this business you have to be tough, and if someone pushes me really far I can certainly be impossible. I`ve always said, "If you`re nice they walk over you and if you stand up for yourself they call you a bitch."

I don`t like my voice that much. I think I`m a much better actress than singer. Singing is like going to a party at someone else`s house. Acting is like having the party at your own house. When you go to someone else`s house for a party, it`s not your responsibility at all, but when you have the party at your own house, there`s a lot of responsibility. Everyone has to have a good time. So for me, acting is deeper.

I`m like a bumper car. When I did an infomercial I was fodder for every TV comedy show. I couldn`t get a job. People said I was a huge joke. I`ve been a joke so many times. I`ve been on my way out since I started, but I`m strong-willed. My mother is so much tougher than I am and my grandmother is so much tougher than my mother.

The trouble with some women, they get all excited about nothing - and then they marry him.

I haven`t a clue why I`ve lasted so long. There`s no reason. There are many people more talented than me. I think it`s luck.

I`m not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I`ve managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.
