- Amanda McBroom: (on success in the entertainment field) I still find it hard to think of myself as famous. I'll take your word for it. I have been and still am an actress. That came first. The singing thing and the writing came later.

- Amanda McBroom: (on her role in the M*A*S*H episode "That's Show Biz" where she plays the accordian) The accordian AND the piano! I was the one with the wiggle-waggles and the really ugly blue dress.
