Fran Drescher

It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens. ”

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover. ”

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money. ”

I don't go to places where I'm going to get mobbed. ”

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I'll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore. ”

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep. ”

People lived in the same apartments for years. You'd meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you'd still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood. ”

I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home. ”

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it. ”

I was popular. I wasn't the most popular. But I definitely held my own. ”
