Kirstie Alley Quotations

I sort of feel sorry for the next man who gets me. I may just kill him with passion. He'd better be strong and have a good heart!

You'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

I never did go back to acting class. I was too busy working.

When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up - it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.

I don't believe you have to have eating disorders and mental illness to screw up.

My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter.

No matter what parents do, kids retain their uniqueness.

When you are generalizing, and when your goal is to malign and to say things about an entire group - there are tens of millions of Scientologists in the world - when you decide to blanket statement that 'Scientology is evil,' you are my enemy.

There's a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.

There's always somebody older, richer, more desperate than you.

It's amazing how coke encompasses everything in your life. Addicts cannot confront life because they only think of their next hit. I ruined life for my parents, my sister and all my friends.

I don't like psychiatry. I don't believe it works. I believe psychiatrists are neurotic or psychotic, for the most part.

When I see someone who is starved, they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death.

Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.

It was the greatest thing in the world getting fat. Every meal out was an event. Or we'd go to Italy and we'd have pasta, truffles, and dessert and then plan the next incredible meal. It was a happy-go-lucky time. I never had so much fun.

I developed a nutty attitude where I'd think, If some guy really loves me he doesn't care if I'm fat. I'd come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.

I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.

I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.

I couldn't care less about sex unless I meet someone who I think is wonderful.

I don't smoke pot. I never liked it.

I was born to do sitcoms, where you get an immediate response from the audience.

I've been irresponsible many, many, many times and that has resulted in my being fat.

Indians have a big problem with alcohol and drugs. I grew up with an admiration for their culture and was sensitive to their problems.

The reason I went for Jenny Craig is I thought, Maybe I'm not the only one who has stupid reasons for getting fat.

Usually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.

I believe that behind both the person who weighs 400 pounds and the one who weighs 85 there is a lot of baggage, and it has nothing to do with their bodies.

I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 bowling balls. But, that's a good problem. I don't really have a complaint about that.

I always had really long swimmer's arms. The last to totally go is always my thighs and butt, but my old body is there somewhere.

I am the one who got myself fat, who did all the eating. So I had to take full responsibility for it.

I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.' I thought, 'Come on, we're fat.'

If you stop exercising - which I did - and if you stop watching your caloric intake - which I did - you're gonna get fat.

I want to be a billionaire, and then I want to change something in the world for real.

For some reason I am one of those people who act like they were born and raised during the Depression.

I always feel like there is some dude out there with money that I could fall back on if I needed to.

I think that probably all religions sound bizarre to the people who are not the practitioners of them.

I'm fat! There's nothing else to call it.

Through history, people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith, too.

When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to become an actress. I owe my career to my will to stop using.

When I'm at my best, I'm wearing a 6. When you see yourself pick out the 6... you want to wear the tags on the outside of your clothes.

You're not going to live your life unscathed.

When you're the spokeswoman for a weight-loss program, everything is witnessed. I weigh in once a week with a witness. I have to sign an affidavit saying I cannot have any surgeries.

God gave us intestines for a reason. I'm not keen on surgery. It's too extreme. All it took was one of those plastic surgery shows to see how violent it is.

I have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.

I have to be below 140 to really look good. I have to work my legs like crazy. Actually, do you want my real goal? My real goal's always too low. I love the way I look at, like, 128.

I was so naive I didn't even know about agents. I telephoned the William Morris agency and asked to speak to Mr. Morris. I expected Bill Morris to be waiting for my call.

Scientology helps you lose your insanities. One of the keys is, they say, 'You're in charge of your life, buster. You're responsible for any condition you're in.' If I look at it that way, it helps.

The thing about me is, I don't care what religion you are. If someone is attacking your religion, I will have your back, and I will defend you. I think that is the most repulsive thing a person can do, attack another person's faith.

Until I separated from Parker, I had never been without them-and it's the hardest thing to share them. But we're trying to give the children the semblance of having whole lives.

I think the biggest accomplishment anyone can achieve is to be the cause of something, rather than the effect. A cause makes something happen - ideally, a positive outcome, such as losing weight, finding someone amazing or getting a new job. It puts you in a position of control and confidence, rather than reaction and reluctance.

I've learned that you'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

Smile don't frown Look up don't look downBelieve in yourself Don't let yourself goJust be who you areAnd let your live flow..

I had a great time getting fat and now I'm going to have an even greater time losing weight. I had four offers from other companies, but I wanted to go with the ... one that I knew would work--and, let's face it, Jenny Craig's food is hands-down the yummiest.

People always say, 'Well, celebrity spokespersons have private consultants'. Well, with Jenny Craig everybody gets a private consultant.

I liked animals more than people! OK, I liked certain people, but the idea of mankind'-it really irritated me!

It's funny. No matter how hard you try, you can't close your heart forever. And the minute you open it up, you never know what's going to come in. But when it does, you just have to go for it! Because if you don't, there's not point in being here.

You are not in business to be popular.

When I play ball, I play hardball.

I'm totally inhibited. When I'm overweight I will not go out.

I took an acting class for 10 seconds before I played a lead in a student movie. I showed the film to an agent who said he would send me on interviews but wouldn't sign me.

I was a Scientologist before I was an actress, and I've always felt people are not only content with whatever religion I have, but are always interested.

If we worried half as much what others are doing for us and spent twice as much time helping others, we would all be exponentially happier.

I'd like to prove to women my age that there can still be good years ahead of us.

When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up-it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.

One time, I brought Prince to the set. He's a friend of mine, and he asked to come. Everyone wanted to meet him, but he's a little shy.

I had the halfway house. I can't tell how many nights I spent around my kitchen table, soothing broken hearts.

I am a little klutzy and self-deprecating. I fit in with the rest of the losers.

People change, not necessarily in negative ways. Sometimes goals and intentions in life aren't aligned. It's just choices we make in life. Otherwise, why aren't we with the person we were with in seventh grade?

I had seen Cheers twice, I think. Ted [Danson] had so much hair in his widow's peak that I remember thinking, "That dude looks like Eddie Munster."

To tell you the honest-to-God truth: without Scientology, I would be dead. So, I can personally highly recommend it.

I've known Prince for many years - I worked on the "Raspberry Beret" video - and Kirstie [Alley] and I used to fight about him.He once sent a card [saying] he had penned a song about me, called "Palomino Pleasure Ride." I remember bringing this card to work one time and showing Kirstie and saying: "See? Now who's the better friend?" It was so ridiculous.

Smile, don’t frown. Look up don’t look down. Believe in yourself Don’t let yourself go. Just be who you are. And let your live flow.
