Kirstie Alley Filmography

• On acting industry: "You are not in business to be popular."
• "I've learned that you'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun."
• "Smile don't frown. Look up. Don't look down. Believe in yourself. Don't let yourself go. Just be who you are. And let your live flow."
• "A little hidden bonus of being an actor is getting to smooth with other people, and it´s legal. In It takes two, I got to kiss Steve Gutenberg. Life is good!"
• "I don't think that children are any more resilent than anyone else. They're just people with little bodies."
• "I was a Scientologist before I was an actress, and I've always felt people are not only content with whatever religion I have, but are always interested."
• "I´m not very good at clothes. I´m much better at furniture. Usally I wear sweatpants and sweatshirts, so when I do buy clothes I find some really hot-looking salesgirl and say, `Make me look happening.`"
• "If I ever met a journalist who I felt had the intention of representing this religion in its true vein, I would never hesitate to do the interview. My instincts tell me you're not the one, Pass-adena."
• "I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from like, 3 balls to 10 -- bowling balls. But, that's a good problem. I don't really have a complaint about that."
• "People change, not necessarily in negative ways. Sometimes goals and intentions in life aren't aligned. It's just choices we make in life. Otherwise, why aren't we with the person we were with in seventh grade?"
• Asked what drink best describes her personality: "Water, I´m always clear." "
• On abortion: "I think it´s a fistamendment right. I´m not saying that I´m for abortion or would have one, but I think it´s a right. Bar none."
• On being fat: "So all they can come up with is to criticise me for being fat. I get so tired of it and I´m fed up with eveyone telling me to lose weight. Right now the only thing I want to lose is all the people telling to lose weight." "
• On discos: "I like going to them when I´m very drunk."
• On growing up: "Before I turned twenty I thought that everyone was very smart except me. After turning twenty, I thought I lived in a world of morons." "
• On nuclear war: "We´ve created the end of the world, and I think we should say, `Congratulations, We had great scientists who created the destruction of the planet. And now we should destroy that creation.´" "
• On optimism: "The best creations are made out of optimism. And if you lose your optimism, you´ve lost."
• On saucy photos on the internet: "None of those pictures on the Internet are me. It´s not even my face in some of them and on one they put my head on a 21-years-old´s body. I have to say they look great but it isn´t me."
• On Star Trek: "I know I got the part because my eyebrows were the same shape as Spock´s. Forget whether I could act, it was my eyebrows they wanted."

• People's Choice Awards: Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series (1998)
• People's Choice Awards: Favorite Television Performer (1991)
