Heather Locklear's Quotes

• [on why she wasn't invited for a T.J. Hooker (1982) reunion] They haven't asked me. I don't think they've asked [former co-star] Adrian Zmed, but I'm sure William Shatner is willing to do it. I can't see why [he would] no . . . Maybe I'll see the film when it comes out on DVD or something.
• [Jan. 2003 interview in "Esquire" Magazine] Fans of mine, if they watched "T.J. Hooker" (1982) or "Spin City" (1996), they're fans of Heather Locklear. If they call me Sammy Jo or Amanda, they're fans of the show.
• [about "Franklin & Bash" (2011)] I loved "Boston Legal" (2004). I loved "Ally McBeal" (1997). It's similar to that. It's a fun show. And it was different than what I've done. Is it dramedy? More of a comedy.
• [Oct. 2012, in "Entertainment Weekly"'s annual reunions issue, about "Melrose Place" (1992)] It was definitely the highlight of my career.
• [in "Rolling Stone", May 1994, about "Melrose Place" (1992)'s success] The younger population had no idea who I was. Now all of a sudden I get stopped by elementary-school [kids], high-school kids all the time. I like being the older woman. I mean, someone like [Andrew Shue] must have been like five when I first started on TV.
