''Let's answer this one once and for all. I'm 38 and I worry about my weight and my changing body metabolism. I do the minimum amount of a workout possible. Twenty minutes on a treadmill walking fast three times a week, 150 sit-ups a day, 100 push-ups a day. That's it, now get off my back.''

— Paula Poundstone on Mother Jones Online

''I think sex appeal has something to do with popularity and longevity of a TV actor's career, but [it's] not everything. I certainly have not been a sex symbol on television, and I'm doing just fine! If you have a nice midriff, why not show it?''
— Full House's Candace Cameron on AOL

''I am horrified of becoming a movie star because that means you play the same role all the time. That would be a bit dull.''
