Fran Drescher

I’ve gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.

I have been dairy free for several years, and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies, which it did, and help me lose weight, which it did.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

Well, every time I get ready to do a job I want to lose weight.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it’s hard to go back to sleep.

You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

Since my illness, I’ve felt the presence of my angels.

Life is precious and there’s not a lot of room for anger.

If we don’t empower ourselves with knowledge, then we’re gonna be led down a garden path.

People lived in the same apartments for years. You’d meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you’d still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood.

I’m very involved in the writing on every level.

Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow.

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I’ll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.

It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens.

Every time you go to the doctor and get a good report, the odds keep staking more in your favour.

My clothes are predominately black and my home is predominantly white.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.

I’ve lived, laughed, lost, and loved again the whole Shakespearian thing.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that’s really about it.

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.

I’ve lived three lifetimes in my short time.

If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.

Though I’m not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.

And remember, it’s also very funny, because side by side with grief lies joy.

I was popular. I wasn’t the most popular. But I definitely held my own.

I like writing better. Because I don’t have to wear makeup, I don’t have to be thin, and I don’t have to remember lines.

I don’t go to places where I’m going to get mobbed.

I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.
