“That was mandatory in the contract with Aaron Spelling, that if you were contracted to do one of his shows, you had to do any other shows that were his.”

“I've always been concerned about the environment. Becoming a mother only intensified my concern. I became even more alarmed about what we are doing to the earth and what our children will inherit as a result.”

“I always get my way.”

“What really ticks me off is how the public figures you automatically become the roles you play. What most people never see is the silly side of me.”

“When it's supposed to be, when it's the right thing. I have a very strong opinion about things and what works best for me in terms of manifesting my desires.”

“Since we're all Mother Earth's children, I like to think that more and more of us will be out there helping her against those who are hurting her.”

“There was definitely a wild side to me that couldn't run free growing up in England.”

“I've done so much healing on myself, been through personal hell, through hell in my relationships; my children have been through so much, and we've gotten to a place of healing.”

“When my father was very young, he performed in Billy Rose's Aquacade.”

“I've had relationships with men who are simply not willing to change their lifestyle. That's fine if you're unformed as a woman and you're able to blend yourself into something that's a convenient vessel. It's hard once you become a mother, I'll tell you. Something changes.”

“When I was younger, we'd stay at stately homes, and at the end of dinner, women would have to leave the table. I used to sit there. I wouldn't leave. I felt England should come out of the Victorian era.”

“I do get in the water, but I was ruined by 'Jaws' 'cause I saw it when I was 13. Before that, I used to get in the water everywhere and never thought twice about it. After watching 'Jaws,' I was scared of the water. I have Steven Spielberg to thank for giving me another phobia.”

“When I left England and announced I was going to be an actress, the Windsors stopped speaking to me.”

“I'm a prankster with a Monty Python sense of humor that somehow gets misrepresented in those tacky supermarket publications as bratty, snotty, and rude.”

“I meet my fears with excitement. They are an excuse to be courageous.”

“Quite frankly, anything you have you will be told is detrimental or is an asset by whomever you run into, and in the end, you can't listen to anybody about anything.”

“As a mom, my priorities have changed.”

“It's amazing what one positive role model in your life can do in five minutes.”

“I think there are different levels of forgiveness.”
