QUOTES

• [on her sitcom Married… with Children (1987)] The show definitely shocked and disgusted people. But privately, they enjoyed laughing at it. I think all too often people look at the perfect families on television and think, “Why can’t my family be like that?” In the case of “Married with Children”, people were able to say, “Thank God my family’s not like that!”
• I’ve always been shy and sort of vulnerable. My mom says that when she would drop me off at school, I’d stand back and check out the situation–see if it was safe before I’d join the other kids.
• [on how she coped with being a television star in her teens] I wasn’t one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.
• [on her husband, actor Johnathon Schaech (they’ve since divorced)] We’re best friends. And that spark is always there. I can’t wait to see him, even though I saw him a few hours ago.
• I started doing radio commercials for K-mart when I was four. They had to splice all my consonants together because I couldn’t talk very well. But these jobs helped my mother and me put food on the table. It took the two of us working.
