	Oh, I miss the excitement and immediacy of Broadway and the theaters.

	I've managed to completely reeducate myself into making eating secondary. I used to eat all the time because the food was there. Now I feel like a kid in school who is gaining points for behaving. And I love myself for it.

	Whenever I work, I'm never really happy. I'm always second-guessing.   
- 
	
	Rich means you have to stay there to maintain it.

	When I first found out I had diabetes I denied it.

	No one teaches you how to be graceful.

	Of all the unhappiness I went through, you must know I wouldn't live a moment of my life differently for what I have now. Would I do it all again? I wouldn't want to, but if it got me to the same place, yeah, I'd do it. Because I realize now that God would not give more than I could handle.

	I'm not very kind about marriage. I will never get married again.

	'Gimme a Break' ran for six years and gave me the kind of money and freedom that I'd dreamed would make me happy. It didn't.

	I think that anyone who denies their heritage doesn't deserve their destiny. My grandmother was a maid. She put nine children - eight of them - through college; I did not finish college.

	I always look forward to getting back East. I miss the cold weather and the Jewish delis.

	New York is a good city for not having to get fat.   
- 
	
	It's exciting to sing in the place where you pay your taxes.

	Being diabetic was not what I thought of as being normal, and I feared the stigma of having to take medicine and having people stick me with a needle.   
- 
	
	All of us should do what we want and have to do. We can only limit ourselves.   
- 
	
	I had a pretty rough life. I got caught up in the star syndrome. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's something that I'm glad is over.   
- 
	
	I think when you're happy, emotions are right near the top - mine definitely are. I cry easily, I laugh easily, I lose my temper easily... and I beg for forgiveness easily.   
- 
	
	Rich is not better.   
- 
	
	One bad review can destroy me. It hurts so bad.   
- 
	
	If I'm with someone for too long, I begin feeling trapped.
