"Ah, well, actually what happened was, uh, I, when we went to wardrobe, about how we wanted them look - them all to look, and I thought that she should wear shoes like that, and anyone who wears 'those kind of shoes' will walk that way'."' — Interview with E! on Peg Bundy's unique walk.http://www.bundyology.com/closeup.html

"I think she kind of is the matriarch of all of them in a weird way. In the mythology of the club, she’s been there since the beginning. So she has probably seen these guys when they first got there. So they look to her as some sort of, I don’t want to say a moral compass, but she’s got a strong point of view." — Interview with the Chicago Tribune about her Sons of Anarchy character Gemma Teller Morrow.http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/09/sons-of-anarchy-fx-gemma-clay-jax.html
