Mary Tyler Moore Quotes

I just want to keep doing stuff that's different, rather than saying, "Okay, I've become known for this, and I'll just do this from now on."

Hopefully things have loosed up a bit, and I've gotten better and become more relaxed as an actor.

I have never had anything that I can remember in the business - and that includes all the movies and the stage shows and everything - that I didn't enjoy. I didn't like some of the small-time vaudeville, because we weren't going on and getting better. Aside from that, I didn't dislike anything.

Having an opportunity to play different characters, and work in different mediums, that's what's fun. The worst question you could be asked is, "What do you like better, film, television or theater?"
