Shelley Long's Quotes
- I don't get bothered about statistics. If somebody had pointed out to me the odds of my being a working actress getting paid for what she does, I probably would have quit early in the game.
- If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.
- Did you know that, if you visualize, you can actually hug on the phone?
- I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.
- I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.
