- ["Marie is the villain in the show...and it was very clear to me that she was the antagonist in the show. But you can't tell this that she's the villain, because everybody wants to be loved."]
- [on not featuring the children on 'Everybody Loves Raymond']: I wasn't interested in doing a show with cute kids. I wanted to do a show about real people who happened to have children. On the surface, it could look like a 'Full House' -type of show, and we wanted to avoid that. We wanted to do an adult sitcom, a nine o'clock show.
- [on casting Doris Roberts as Marie Barone]: In casting, I was looking for my mother. But my mother was not available. I auditioned about 100 women for that role, and nobody came close to Doris.
