Quotes

  • I would rather be at Reggae Sunsplash, which happens once a year, than doing some horrible Brady Bunch reunion.
  • [on working on various The Brady Bunch (1969) reunion specials]: We missed each other. I think the idea of working together again was appealing.
  • [Of her autistic child]: We went swimming last night and my son did so well, socially, we're making a habit of this.
  • I think in order to have eternal life, you have to have a soul, and the soul of the show is that we all really did love each other. I think that really came across.
  • [When asked if Robert Reed was very uncomfortable with his own personality]: No. He was uncomfortable, probably in the same way that I was uncomfortable, this annoying that I wasn't good at it, and he knew, he kind of had 2 left feet, and he couldn't sing, but he wanted to do it. So, he was finding it very interesting. He took it on like another performance adventure. He was a real actor, so he thought it'd be fun, and certainly, when it come to doing the comedy and particularly, the broad sketch comedy, he was having a ball!! He was having more fun than anybody on the set, etc. for when he was dancing --- it looked like he was enjoying it, but was in pain.
