Personal quotes
"I'm not particularly pre-occupied with the husband/baby
thing. Besides, I have a dog."
"I do
wish my breasts were bigger. Not big... but less small"
"I don't
see it, but I'm flattered nonetheless. To look like
Michelle Pfeiffer is quite nice."
"I have
always been really small. I went through a period around
the fourth grade where I couldn't find jeans that fit.
If they fit in length they didn't fit in the waist so
I would buy them to fit in length because I certainly
wasn't going to wear floods. But then they'd just hang
down like big bell-bottoms."
"I embrace
everything about Ally... I don't particularly see her
as a whiner. One week she's tough, the next she's really
weak. I love that. She's human."
"I like
to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind."
"I would
like to take this opportunity [on Letterman] just to
tell the press to KISS MY SKINNY WHITE ASS!"
"I'm
Fasinated by women who aren't making a great impression
on people. I think there's probably something there
that is more than meets the eye."
"So
people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's
the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how
old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none
of your business.' So that means I've never once lied
about my age. Now that's true!"
