Sharon Lawrence’s 5 most popular quotes

  • I would like to go back and spend a Christmas with my family and myself when I was five years old and just see what that dynamic would be like. Observe it. I think it would be a magical gift.
  • I was interested in working on a show that was driven by women.
  • Because I was a dancer when I was a kid, I have so much empathy for these young girls who are so drawn to something lovely in music and in movement, and yet they encounter a world full of judgment and criticism of 11-year-old artists and bodies.
  • I didnt like the Survivor shows because of the mean-spirited aspect, and women certainly were part of whatever conflict they would create.
  • Go out there and see where the world needs your touch. That kind of meaning not only makes you feel more connected to your environment on a local scale, but also to yourself – whether you can operate from something beyond the definition that others might place on you.
