“There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He’s decapitated, but totally nude. And he’s really well-endowed.”

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn’t normally get.

If I’m not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven’t been able to get to class for a while or I’ve been sick.

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper,

I really loved Kelsey [Grammer]. It wasn’t a romantic love, but there was something about him. It’s very difficult to see someone you care about having a hard time.

The musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I don’t see myself as a diva at all.

I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.

More than anything I love being on stage and performing

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.

Artists need to express.

I am a very complicated person.

I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well

I can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer

There’s nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex.

There’s something about getting up at 5 a.m., feeding the stock and chickens, and milking a couple of cows before breakfast that gives you a lifelong respect for the price of butter and eggs.

It was the most beautiful evening, with the lake as blue as a cornflower and the sky flecked with rosy clouds. They held their hard-boiled eggs in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other, munching happily.

All well-regulated families set apart an hour every morning for tea and bread and butter

I want everybody to go jump in the ocean to see for themselves how beautiful it is, how important it is to get acquainted with fish swimming in the ocean, rather than just swimming with lemon slices and butter.

Books, bread and butter, mashed potato – one finishes what’s on one’s plate. That’s always been my philosophy.

The music has always been my bread and butter, and I’ve focused more of my attention on that.

To one, science is an exalted goddess; to another it is a cow which provides him with butter.
