Teri Ann Garr (born December 11, 1944) is an American stage, television and film actress, singer, dancer and voice artist.
You have to lift your head up out of the mud and just do it.
You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.
I was in an acting class taught by Eric Morris, and Jack Nicholson was in the class. He wrote the script for 'Head', so all of us in the class got little tiny parts in the movie.
Seventy-five percent of MS sufferers are women
I think there are a lot of myths about MS, and it may have affected my career.
I have an enormous fondness for delicious food. It's very comforting
Going to dancing school, or being in a play, is a very familial feeling. You're around friends.
No matter how bad the truth is, it doesn't tear you apart inside like dishonesty.
I understand how hard it is to talk to people about MS. You don't want pity or random advice.
I have heard all kinds of stories about telling employers about MS and I really don't know what the answer is. I am a private person, but I have found support by talking to fellow MSrs in the community.
Someday they may cure MS, that idiot thing. It gets in there and they can't get it out.
I plan to live to be 120!
I have a disease, but I also have a lot of other things.
I've always been this insane. Isn't that interesting?
MS doesn't define who I am.
Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.
If there's ever a woman who's smart, funny, or witty, people are afraid of that, so they don't write that. They only write parts for women where they let everything be steamrolled over them, where they let people wipe their feet all over them.
I go to my physical therapist to keep fighting it and one of them told me if you don't use it, you lose it, but I know we're on television so I won't say what I would often say.
I remember when we did our first read-through, Sonny [Bono] looks at the script and he goes, "Okay, I'll see you guys later. Chai-ay-oh!" And I said, "It's ciao! Aren't you Italian? C-i-a-o doesn't spell 'chai-ay-oh. '" Sonny's dead, so he won't be embarrassed if I tell that story.
I do Pilates a lot. I don't do a lot of cardiovascular stuff.
