A biography for Vicki Lawrencehasn’t been written yet.
“I was married for 10 minutes into a Southern family.”
“What I learned was that celebrities come to me with a preconceived notion. They think I'm fun, or they've worked with me, or they know me, or we've met. So there's a lot of backstuff on the 'Vicki!' show.”
“Things have always sort of happened for me. Something else always comes up.”
“I was really a shy kid.”
“A lot of the things that loved ones say to each other, friends would never accept.”
“I feel like my life has been very serendipitous and really kind of humorous. Everything that's happened to me has been like an, 'Omigod, are you kidding me?'”
“I had a hit talk show. I just wasn't working for the right people.”
“CIU is not something to just tolerate. It's important to find an allergist or dermatologist who can work with you to help manage your condition.”
“I think for people that are dealing with this out there, the important thing to know is that this is real. It's called CIU, and there are solutions out there for you.”
“TV's been good to me.”
“I think coming East and doing something like Broadway would probably be a good career move.”
“RuPaul knew details of the 'Burnett Show' that even surprised me.”
“There's nobody telling Oprah what to do. There's no one telling David Letterman what he can and can't do. You've got to have 100 percent support from everybody who's behind the show, across the board.”
“I want to be open about my condition to show others that they are not alone in dealing with this form of chronic hives. My advice for people with CIU is to talk to their doctor about their condition.”
“I found that I need to work, and I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't taken the time off.”
“I feel it is time to lighten up and laugh about things and enjoy ourselves a little bit more.”
“There is no such thing as a perfect mother.”
“When I was in high school, in my generation, I thought that you got a logical, sensible job, or you got married.”
“It took me a lot of years on the 'Burnett' show to feel like I had earned the privilege to play in the sandbox with the grown-ups.”
“I've really enjoyed doing 'Annie Get Your Gun' and loved Neil Simon stuff like 'Chapter Two.'”
