The decision-making process was very difficult: is this how I want my career to start, with playing Jodie Dallas on this show?
You wouldn't want to see the size of the check that I would write if it would for sure get the Dallas Cowboys a Super Bowl.
I'm looking forward to being a supporter of the Dallas Cowboys. I want to watch them win another Super Bowl.
I just want to retire before I go senile because if I don't retire before I go senile, then I'll do more damage than good at that point.
When you come from so many damaged places you don't ever want to spiral back there, so you gotta continue to check yourself.
When you see something you want to do, go do the damn thing.
Directors didn't want to work with me because I was 'too controlling.' If it had been a man, it wouldn't have meant a damn thing.
The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make.
If life were fair, Dan Quayle would be making a living asking 'Do you want fries with that?'
I always want to have more dancers in my company.
All I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it - no matter where it is.
When I signed up for 'Dancing with the Stars,' I was nervous. If I threw everything off, there are 10-15 million people watching, and that would be a negative viewpoint of deaf people, and I didn't want that.
It's one of the reasons I want to do 'Dancing with the Stars': it's a platform to educate.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but a little want of knowledge is also a dangerous thing.
I don't want to portray myself as a daredevil. I'm not at all.
I don't want to take away from anything from my time at Texas. I think it was actually pretty darn special.
It begins with the kind of story the writers want to tell. We never sit around in those retreats and say, 'We really need to make a change. Let's change this character.' Or throw a dart at the wall and see what hits. It all begins with story.
The most interesting characters keep us hooked. Not likeable ones! Iago, Shylock, Darth Vader - are they likeable? Do you want to invite them to dinner?
I want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks.
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
