Ricki Lake

Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

The free sharing and teaching of open source is incompatible with the notion of the solitary genius.
