• " Dog, cat and horse care, on the other hand, is "something I believe in."
• "My dogs always slept on my bed so you certainly want them to be clean and smell nice. That was my goal in developing these products. To me, the phrase 'man's best friend' is no exaggeration. My dogs have given me so much happiness, love and companionship over the years, I wanted to give them my best in return. That's why I spent the last four years developing and fine tuning a unique line of the finest pet care products."
• "I've never really made a career choice. It came to me. The (entertainment) business kept coming to me — and still does. I'm very fortunate. ... Films are a wonderful way to make a living."
• "I'd like to do more comedy. I've been getting decent reviews lately — all for comedy. But I've learned bad reviews usually are more about me, my husband or our relationship than my performance."
• "Films gave me more access to everything. It brought a world of horses into my life that I never would have been exposed to no matter how good a rider I was. ... To anything I can say, `That interests me,' and all the doors open. Right now, the Kennedy Center is a new world for me. I've just been appointed to the Kennedy Center (board of trustees) — it's a presidential appointment for six years. Talk about diving in at the top."
