Shelley Long in Modern Family (2009)

Quotes

Shelley Long

  • I don't get bothered about statistics. If somebody had pointed out to me the odds of my being a working actress getting paid for what she does, I probably would have quit early in the game.
  • If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.
  • Did you know that, if you visualize, you can actually hug on the phone?
  • I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.
  • I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.
  • Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.
  • There was always a feeling for me that it would work. That's what keeps me going. You go in with a positive attitude and stay there, and that's a big part of what does make it work.
  • I like men to be men and I like them to care about me and to take care of me. I'm willing to let them do that.
  • If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.
  • I've helped people get rid of headaches by placing my hand on their forehead, and backaches by placing my hand on their back. It's a powerful example of love that really works.
  • I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.
  • I'm a real 'go, go' person... I'd make myself crazy by pushing too hard. It's important to pull pack the reins a little bit and get in touch with what's inside.
