“sticks and stones might break your bones, but cement pays homage to tradition.”
Estelle Getty

“I have many gay friends. We have talked at great length and in depth about homosexuality, and to anyone who thinks that being gay is a choice, I want to go on record as saying that they couldn't be more wrong. No one wakes up one morning, at age 12 or 19 or 30, looks in the mirror, and says, "Yes, I think I'll be gay." Just as no one decides to be straight.”
Estelle Getty, If I Knew Then What I Know Now ... So What?

“I'm mad, crazy, insanely in love with Woody Allen. The man should be made a prince, a president, coach of his beloved New York Knicks. Anything he wants, give it to him, tax-free.”
