Quotable Quotes:

"Cats are like potato chips - you can't eat just one."

"I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained."

"If you don't have a father, you don't miss it, because you don't know what it is. It was really only when I married Wyatt Cooper that I understood what it was like to have a father, because he was just an extraordinary father." (IMDB)
