Take a step back, evaluate what is important, and enjoy life.
From Teri Garr
I always say don't be scared. It's not that bad - there's always something worse - and there is definitely life after multiple sclerosis.
When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for granted. Now, I take nothing for granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in life and are bitter.
You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.
I've always had this American-pie face that would get work in commercials... I'd say things like, 'Hi, Marge, how's your laundry?' and 'Hi, I'm a real nice Georgia peach.' Sometimes this work is one step above being a cocktail waitress.
Directors would tell me, 'We want you to play a character a little less complex than you are.' Yeah, sure. What they mean is, 'You're playing a dummy.'
I'm always like this with a new movie role. I always get super-defensive and make noises like a rooster, Maybe that's because I spent so much time as a chorus girl.
I thought, 'If I can't be prom queen, I can dance 'Les Sylphide.'
I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting.
Being sensitive to the problem of women is just another symptom of the quality of movies: I don't think you can do anything that's very sensitive. Everything's sort of broad strokes and big gestures - adventure things that boys, guys want to see.
