#Quote
1[on her role as Momma in Throw Momma from the Train (1987)] My own mother was ill late in her life and became irritable and impatient. She was very demanding and I found some elements in her for Momma. But I've never known anyone as rude and awful as Momma Lift. So I made her a composite of some of the traits I saw in women when I was younger and used to people-watch in Grand Central and Pennsylvania stations in New York. Of course it was an unflattering role, but audiences love her. And I got all my hostilities out playing the character.
2Some people say I'm not a very pretty woman, but I'm a very beautiful woman inside.
3[on her Oscar nomination for Throw Momma from the Train (1987)] It means a little bit of acceptance after a long attempt to get here, but that doesn't mean I'm "here" at all, I've got a lot more to do.
