“All these rumors about [Tom Cruise] being gay. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it for one minute. He hasn’t been to one of my shows.”

I want to have fun, and I want to give people a good laugh.

You have to think you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, but you have to know that you’re not.

You have to be alert. When my daughter, Sophie, came out of the womb, she was instantly alert, as if she had been here before. And she was a little disappointed that she was here again.

I’ve always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.

Most people don’t deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.

If they [at the audition] don’t like the way you sound they won’t buy you anyway, ripped dress or no ripped dress, ass hanging out or no ass hanging out.

I’ve always said that people have unrealistic expectations.

There comes a time whenyou haveto let yourclothesgo out in the world and try to make it on their own.

Self-esteem is something you have to earn!

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reeds. Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your heart to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower and you, its only seed.

I feel like a million tonight – but one at a time.

It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you’re playing somebody’s mother – and there aren’t even a lot of those roles!

When you reach a certain age, you have fulfilled your childhood dream and whatever your first or second adulthood led you to do. T

That’s the Oscars for ya – you remember who was nominated, but you don’t remember who won!

Thank God for the gays. I don’t know what would have happened but I know what did happen. Good for them and good for me.

I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I’m even sanguine about that.

I am invisible in gay bars.

When I was 14 I came very close to becoming a gay teen suicide ‘statistic’ but I then turned to music, my piano, my loved ones, and discovered that it does in fact get better.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we lived in a world where no one thought being gay was even something to ride someone about?

No, I’m not gay. And I think it would be a waste with all those pretty girls in the front row.

I don’t believe in involving the government in enforcing or encouraging the lifestyle of gays and homosexuals.

We told you this would happen, if gay marriage is legalized, then much chaos would follow.

If you have laws and legislation that ban certain things based on the principles of the Scriptures and based on your Christian background, then let it stand there.

The Clintons opposed gay marriage. They did don’t ask, don’t tell. They did the Defense of Marriage Act.
