- Delta: There weren't many 1980s TV shows I didn't make an appearance on. I even made return engagements: I was on The Love Boat three times. Nine times out of ten, my character was an oversexed vamp. I changed in and out of an awful lot of nightgowns.

- Delta: (on her compulsive hoarding syndrome) At one time I had 27 storage units. I don't have a big enough house! My mom had it, it's my mother's fault. She saved the diaper I came home from the hospital in!
