Julie Kavner's Quotes

• When I was trying to come up with the voices for Patty and Selma I asked Jim Brooks what he wanted and he said, "They suck the joy out of everything".
• I sound New York. I sound East Coast much more than a blonde person from L.A.
• I was brought up not to be selfish or self-centered. So if you play somebody who isn't so lovable, you can play that person and no one will turn on you. I don't want to play that person in real life. Because then people won't like me so much.
• Don't ask me about Beverly Hills High School. Everybody hated it. I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it.
• I'm very, very private; I don't enjoy talking about myself to strangers. Particularly strangers with tapes going.
