Zitat des Tages von Leah Remini:
There's a lot of things that are good in Scientology, because I wouldn't have been in it. And that's the thing: a lot of people trivialize this thing, like, 'Oh, it's Xenu, and it's a volcano, and it's jumping on couches and acting crazy.' These people are victims. We've been victimized. We believed in something because it starts out very normal.
I love men who know when to put their foot down and when not to.
Men stop trying after a while and get lazy.
There's a lot involved in going to the bathroom for women.
Are you trying to give me a hint that I should drop it? I can lose the accent; I just have to really focus on what I'm saying. And I have to talk slowly.
I'm a very by-the-book person.
Because Scientologists view children as spiritual beings, you're not treated as a kid, so you're given a lot of responsibility. Your ego becomes extremely inflated.
I always was trying to make people laugh as a kid. I was a big fan of Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner. I watched them and I remember feeling as a child, when I heard the laughter they got, a little jealous that they made someone laugh like that.
The guy has to kill the spider and get the dead mouse outta the pool.
I try to be a good person. I know what my downfalls are, so that's a good thing.
I was always religious. I was baptized as a Catholic. I got my daughter baptized as a Catholic.
When it mattered the most, my mother was there for me. It was the moment that erased all those days she wasn't there.
My grandmother lived on Elizabeth Street in Little Italy, and she used to go to church every day. She'd go in, light a candle, she'd pray, and as a child, that was comforting to me.
In my house, it's family first - but I was spending most of my time at the church. So, I was saying 'family first,' but I wasn't showing that. I didn't like the message that sent my daughter.
I've always had a show that went seven episodes or 13 episodes or whatever. And I've never had a show that's gone past a first season. It really is a lot of work.
But inside, I'm going, 'Oh my God, is my zipper up? Do I have a booger in my nose?' That's my inner monologue.
My actions and the things I say and do, I wonder if they have an effect on my daughter and the way she's going to be as a person. I just want her to be a good person.
I applaud my mother now for getting me through that time and making me believe in myself.
I have a big mouth, and I have a temper, so that's not good for people. That's not good for executives.
There shouldn't be any kind of judgment towards somebody who has a belief system that is not yours.
When you get your show - that's what 'King of Queens' was for me. That was my part; that was my show - I was meant to have that part.
I envision Hollywood as a race, and some people simply drop off before their turn comes around. It's all about stamina - your ability to get back up and keep going even though everything is pointing at the odds not being in your favor.
I've really come to realize you have to love yourself before you can expect someone else to.
Oddly, moving to L.A. had nothing to do with me wanting to be an actress. My mother had a friend who was willing to take us in for a month until we could get on our feet. So we lived on her floor. It was pretty traumatic, but I found my strength through my mother in that time because she never once made us feel like we wouldn't be OK.
This is what I love about people! You meet people outside of the business, they'll tell you the truth.
I love a man in a suit. Men should stay clothed, even if they have nice bodies.
I loved 'King of Queens'... You can't spend that amount of time somewhere and not pick that as your favorite.
My mother was in Scientology my whole life. Most people don't know that we were raised in it - I didn't decide to get into it. I was brought into it by my mom.
