Quotes

"As I get older, I'm finding out I really don't care what you think of me."

"I try to be as discerning and polite as possible when I'm out in public. That's an unspoken agreement among all of us [in the Brady cast] that we should do. What's been hard for people to understand is that The Brady Bunch is not my life. Then, they label me as angry and bitter. They'll ask me something about the show and get an answer, but it's not the answer they want."
