Quote: “When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, ‘I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato,’ and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.” | “I’m learning something all the time. That’s the way I want it to go, and that’s the way I’ll go until I am no longer on this planet.”
