- [on being four feet, eleven inches tall] I used to want to be tall, and then I thought, "If I were tall, then people would say I was pretty and not cute." And then I realized that there are worse things than being called cute. They could say I was a bitch, which would be terrible in my book. So I've decided that this height ain't so bad.
- (Guidepost magazine) I was a spiritual kid.
- I've never changed my clothes so fast in my life. - accepting her 1999 Tony Award, when she had to quickly change out of costume as her award was presented immediately following a musical number she performed in.
- I am a Christian and I don't want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am. I don't believe gay people are going to hell. I believe that judgment is left to the one upstairs and I believe Jesus is all about love. If I can live my life even just a smidgen the way God made his son for us as an example, I'm happy. I do not judge other people for what they believe, but for me, this is what works.
- I'm a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don't believe if you're gay or you have a drink or you dance, you're going to hell. I don't think that's the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I want to be a Christian like Christ - loving and accepting of other people.
- When I was promoting "As I Am" last year, I went on The 700 Club (1966). I wasn't thinking about what it represents. I guess I was living in a little bit of a bubble, and I was surprised that it upset so many people. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't go, because I don't agree with that anti-gay stuff. I don't understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people. What if it was a sin to be short? Well, I guess it is in the Miss Oklahoma pageant.
- I said okay I was happy to give him that gift. And I watch every week because I'm supportive of Aaron; whether we're together or not, I love him always. I think it's a genius show. But...it is weird when I see her behaving in ways that are different from me. I'm really not that judgmental girl. But you have to let artists go where they go - quoted in the New York Times describing how she gave Aaron Sorkin permission to create the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006) character Harriet Hayes, based on her.
- I'm sorry they canceled (my television show), but I've been to the barbecue before and you can't do a single thing once they run out of ribs.
