That’s what the Doctor (Doctor Who (2005)) is about, essentially – having that energy that you just can’t understand.

[compraing her portrayal of Supergirl to Melissa Benoist’s, on Supergirl (2015)] My version was much more of a child and was kind of bratty. But now I love what they’ve done, she’s much more a mature person who is learning as she goes and she doesn’t have it all together yet while she’s saving the day and discovering her own strength. This is the Supergirl I wanted to see all along.

[on ‘Friends’] It was so surprising to us how invested the audience was in these characters, how desperately they wanted them to be happy, how putting them together made some kind of weird sense.

[when ‘Friends’ was canceled] We did not want to go out on the bottom. We wanted to feel more like it was time for your child to go to college, not die.

When stress piles up and all the darts are coming at me at once…it’s great to cry. Crying is like, Okay, I’ve had my drama. Time to move on. – quoted in Woman’s World – 7-12-05

When you’re a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I’ve got other things to deal with. – on the rigors of fam

We’ve always actually been remarkably commercially successful. Not in terms of making huge amounts of money, which we rarely do, but in terms of not losing money and making modest amounts of money. We’re actually strangely consistent in that respect. We’ve been able to keep making movies because of that and also because, strangely, we’ve had studio patrons, starting from Barry Diller. Sometimes they’re establishment people who know they’re not going to make huge amounts of money, but they like your movies. They’re moviegoers, too.

Rob Reiner, who made Stand by Me (1986), is one of the bravest, smartest filmmakers I have ever met, and I’m proud of my association with him. I am also mused to note that the company Mr. Reiner formed following the success of “Stand By Me” is Castle Rock Productions . . . a name with which many of my longtime readers will be familiar.

(On reuniting with Ted Danson while shooting Becker (1998)): I walked in and he just gave me this huge hug like no time had passed.

I have a terrible, terrible fear of knives. I only buy food that I don’t need to cut… I haven’t cut my food in years! Like, I won’t even touch a plastic knife or anything sharp. And if I’m in a kitchen and somebody picks up a knife, I leave.

It’s weird to think I have fans now, so I appreciate all of the people that follow and support me – and I love them to death. But yeah, when I start looking on Twitter, and I see, ‘I want to name my kid after you,’ I’m like, ‘Whoa!’ I’m a little surprised.
