    Valerie Bertinelli's quotes

  • Valerie Bertinelli photo
  • I'm the kind of person who clams up and holds it all inside; he's the type who gets it out and says what he feels. He's brutally honest.
  • I didn't know how to wear a tampon, and I thought that if I wasn't a virgin, maybe they'd fit better.
  • I guess you want what you can't have.
  • Out-and-out nudity, I'm too uncomfortable doing it, and I don't think you need it.
  • I had a very good family that really protected me from everything, and it was a different era.
  • I love the grocery store! Especially when Ed and I go together. I feel like this little married woman, like I'm playing house or something.
  • When I got too heavy, he would say, Honey, lose weight. Then when I got too thin, he said, I don't like making love with you, you've got to gain some weight.
  • I don't think I was quite aware of what was really going on in my life.
  • Now, I don't know how the teenagers do it; have all of these people follow them around and write everything that they ever do and don't do.
  • Honesty is very sexy.
  • I like being a married woman and I like the man I'm married to.
  • I had a miscarriage. It wasn't the easiest thing to deal with. But nobody knew I was pregnant.
  • I'd like to have four kids. Ed says he wants a full band.
  • Ed is very sexy because his emotions are really there-not forced.
  • I'm a full-time mom right now and a part-time actress.
  • I don't know all of the misconceptions that are out there. I try not to listen.
  • I think I'm a much better person inside than I used to be.
  • I'm just not a confident person.
  • It's a lot more fun in bed if you have something on. It's sexier to have to get around the clothes.
  • In TV, people do take me seriously. They know they're going to get good numbers. I just have to say, Give me this, and they'll practically do it.
  • Valerie Van Halen is such a pretty name. All my credit cards, my driver's license, everything has Van Halen on it.
  • I think Dave was jealous that Ed had fallen in love and was happy. Dave tended to keep Ed in a miserable place and liked him there because he could control him that way.
  • We didn't go to bed together till a month after we met. He wouldn't let me go to bed with him. I had wanted to, but he'd say, No. I want to know who you are first.
  • I've gone to interviews and read for a role, and it's gone to the wire, and then the actress that they pick, she's a film actress and I'm a TV actress.
  • Beautiful? No. That's why I'm doing this role in I'll Take Manhattan. I was getting the feeling that people didn't think I was pretty any longer.
  • My eyes aren't special, my nose isn't special, my mouth isn't special.
  • I've asked him to leave, but he says, Absolutely not. You're stuck with me. So there.
  • I've had stories made up about me.
  • One Day at a Time was just given to me.
  • The only things I really love about myself physically are my ankles and my hair.
  • I see how raw I was and how green I was. But I think, Oh, what a cute little girl. But that's about it.
  • Everybody complains that people are so flaky in LA. I'd rather be flaky than mean.
  • I'm proud of what I did, like when I was scared to do a scene and I got through it and I was good.
  • I don't think about acting a lot.
  • I'm a good girl. I am, pretty much.
  • I wasn't being followed everywhere. My celebrity, for as big as it was at that time, it was a little bit safer.
  • I felt like I was 15 all over again. I wanted their approval and I wanted to be the good girl again.
  • I do think Ed smokes too many cigarettes, and he does drink too much sometimes.
  • I knew I was feeling something very different for this man. We were in Phoenix and we'd known each other a month. Ed had just won best rock guitarist in Guitar Player magazine for the fourth time in a row.
  • Looking back, I didn't realize how groundbreaking the show was when it first came out.
  • Professionally, I have no major goals. That's partly because I'm really flaky. I want things, but I don't go after them. I'd rather they be placed in my lap.
  • I run into Bonnie, I'll run into Mac. But it's been a good 20 years since we've all four been in a room together.
  • When I'm happy with myself, he's happiest. But he likes me... firm.
  • When Ed became happy and more independent, Dave couldn't control him anymore. Dave likes control.
  • When he told me he loved me, his defenses were down and I took advantage of him.
  • Ed has a bigger heart than I do. I won't forgive Dave for what he did to the man I love. Ed will. I like revenge, Ed doesn't.
  • I'm not going to tell these actresses they stink.
  • For a man to say I love you, crying, it's like, God, it was really sweet.
