Marilu: (On beauty tips)
Honestly, you can't buy it in a store. Nothing is more important than sleep, water, and a good digestive system. Nothing will show up on your skin more than what's going on inside your body. (edit) Marilu: I grew up with a mom who made us take naps when we came home from school so we could stay up late and watch movies with her. My all-time favorite is Singing in the Rain. Once you start watching it, you can't look away. (edit) Marilu: (On her career as a healthy living guru)
To me, health is the new frontier. We’ve tried everything else. Why don’t we just go to health? Why don’t we just do what we should have been doing all along? Instead of looking for a magic pill, or a magic product, magic diet – or a magic protein bar that keeps all day in your car...someone needs to bring all this together and that’s my goal – that is my mission. (edit) Marilu: You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi. When I was working with George C. Scott on The Titanic, he knew every episode! He would quote lines from it, and I was so flattered because I couldn't believe it was such a classic to him. (edit) Marilu: [On Andy Kaufman] He was like the bad boy in school that you just can't help enjoying. (edit)
