If you're put on a pedestal, you're supposed to behave yourself like a pedestal type of person. Pedestals actually have a limited circumference. Not much room to move around.

I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty.

After momma gave birth to 12 of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.

If you put people up on pedestals, there's only one way for them to go, and that is down.

I've never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.

If anything I was probably loved and praised too much as a child. I think that's why I can't accept any compliments.

I hated to be treated as a child. I thought it was the worst situation.

I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

We have to put people on pedestals; otherwise, there's no one to knock off pedestals.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.
