Teri Garr's quotes

  • 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.
  • Any movie I've ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who's the person to buy it [cocaine] from. Cher said they're going to make two monuments to us--the two girls who lived through Hollywood and never had cocaine.
  • The business is in a funny position these days. They gear everything to those target audiences that make money. Things look more and more like TV and the quality becomes different. People aren't so interested in seeing movies about women's problems.
  • Comedy is really a mystery, because you are either funny or you're not. I think being funny is having intelligence and having wit.
  • Being an actor, there's a fine line between being confident and being arrogant. You can't be arrogant. You have to be confident, and it's very hard to do. You can't think about it, either. You just have to do your work.
  • They only write parts for women where they let everything be steamrolled over them, where they let people wipe their feet all over them. Those are the kind of parts I play, and the kind of parts that there are for me in this world. In this life.
  • I like Cher. I still see her once in a while. I see her. I don't recognize her, but I see her.
  • [on her autobiography] You know I was originally going to call that book, Does This Wheelchair Make Me Look Fat? And they wouldn't let me, because it might offend someone. And now I know-live and learn-that I don't care. I should have done it.
