I'm up against these crazy gorgeous women and look who got (the prize). This is another goodie for me.

I think women are taught to ask permission about everything. We don't realize that we are entitled and we do have a say in our lives.

You can call me an older woman - I don't mind that at all - just don't call me an old one, because I'm not.

When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.

This is the icing on the cake. Nine wonderful years on Everybody Loves Raymond , and to finish it off like this is wonderful.

Wow, this is the icing on the cake.
