I've been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper: There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He's decapitated, but totally nude. And he's really well-endowed.

Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house. She was wonderful - just a kind, big-hearted, filthy girl. Somehow she could be vulgar without being vulgar.

Artists need to express.
Bebe Neuwirth

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

I know when I'm bad, I know when I'm good, and I know when I'm everything in between. I don't have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I've got a pretty cold honest eye.

The musical stuff I'd go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

When you're a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.

I loved Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec. But there was a point where they [thought] maybe we would live together, and I didn't like the idea of Carla being with somebody because that would make you feel like [you're] not part of the people in the bar.

One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?
Bebe Neuwirth
Image
If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV you could get people to guest on the show you couldn't normally get.
