Mary Tyler Moore was a working woman whose story lines were not always about dating and men. They were about work friendships and relationships, which is what I feel my adult life has mostly been about.

I cannot be Mary Hart - or even worse, Samantha Harris - and stand there with my hip out talking about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes taking Suri to an art museum without making fun of it.

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was the best television, the best cast, the best-written television show ever.

I am the luckiest old broad on two feet if the truth were known. It's - but it all goes back to 'Mary Tyler Moore,' 'Golden Girls,' all those - actors love to take the credit. We couldn't do it without the writers.

I've met Shonda Rhimes a few times, and certainly she's an inspiration for me in television.

I don't see myself as a 'black actor,' I'm just Shemar Moore the actor.

To me, it wasn't 'Star Wars' that shaped me; it was more 'Mary Tyler Moore' and, nowadays, 'Louie' and 'Girls.'

The younger Mary J. Blige, I would call her, she was very unaware, ignorant.
