- Didi: We've been planning one for years, and I've had meetings with writers, but they just don't get the innocence of Grease. The scripts are not right - they're sad, and everybody's a loser. I don't think John is interested anymore, and he's convinced Olivia not to do it. The feelings of John, Olivia and Stockard [Channing] are to let those characters be. I even read one script that had John's character dead. It was such a downer. That's not Grease - Grease is always an upper! (on the prospect of filming Grease 3)

- Didi: It doesn't matter how your child comes to you. I've never felt such joy and such love. It's the most beautiful delicious little thing.

- Didi: We stayed in character all day long, we had everybody call us by our character's names ... that gave us the creative license to be as wild or as horny as we needed to be. (on filming Grease)
