Cherilyn Sarkisian Quotes

• [on Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election] I feel…it’s like there’s a death in my family.
• [about her debut single, “Ringo I Love You”] I sounded too much like a boy. Everyone thought it was a faggot song.
• It mystifies me that people would care what I do to my body… Just because you become famous shouldn’t deter you from doing what you want with your life.
• [on Warren Beatty] Warren has probably been with everybody I know, and unfortunately I am one of them. But since I was only 16 maybe I can get out of it with that. I don’t know if I was a bimbo then, but I had pretty low self-esteem.
• [on why she dates younger men] Older men rarely liked me. If it wasn’t for younger men, I would never have a date.
• I don’t think of myself as a singer. I don’t have that kind of confidence. I want to put on a show. I want to dazzle people. For me, everything goes through my eyes first. Even when I did ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ I was wondering : What should I wear?
• I love ghosts, I prefer ghosts to some people.
• [on Madonna] I never hated her, I just thought she was a bitch. Actually, I quite respect her. Actually, I think Madge might be one of the most amazing artists I’ve known. I don’t like everything she does, for sure, but she is always riding the crest of the wave. She always saw trends WAY before anyone else, and had great videos.
• Men aren’t necessities, they’re luxuries.
• I think men are fun and nice, but I don’t think they’re necessary to live. Chastity has a nice father, I think Sonny is a decent father. Elijah’s father is absolutely useless. He’s not worthwhile at all. He hasn’t called Elijah in two years.
• [on Meryl Streep] She’s an acting machine in the same sense that a shark is a killing machine. That’s what she was born to be.
• [on spirit] Women, unlike most men, are able to accept mystery, accept whatever comes to them — even if it’s not logical.
• [on truth] Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.
• [on friendship] I can trust my friends… these people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.
• The only grounds for divorce in California are marriage.
• The trouble with some women, they get all excited about nothing – and then they marry him.
• [People magazine, 9/1/85] I was a shy ugly kid who led a big fantasy life. I thought I was an angel sent from heaven, to cure polio. When Dr. Salk [Jonas Salk] did that I was really pissed off.
• I haven’t a clue why I’ve lasted so long. There’s no reason. There are many people more talented than me. I think it’s luck.
• I’m like a bumper car. When I did an infomercial I was fodder for every TV comedy show. I couldn’t get a job. People said I was a huge joke. I’ve been a joke so many times. I’ve been on my way out since I started, but I’m strong-willed. My mother is so much tougher than I am and my grandmother is so much tougher than my mother.
• I’m not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I’ve managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.
• In this business, you have to be tough, and if someone pushes me really far, I can certainly be impossible. I’ve always said, “If you’re nice, they walk over you, and if you stand up for yourself, they call you a bitch.”.
• I don’t like my voice that much. I think I’m a much better actress than singer. Singing is like going to a party at someone else’s house. Acting is like having the party at your own house. When you go to someone else’s house for a party, it’s not your responsibility at all, but when you have the party at your own house, there’s a lot of responsibility. Everyone has to have a good time. So for me, acting is deeper.
