“‘Big Bang’ was such a group piece. It was such an ensemble show. And I got to put in my funny sarcasms and my little things, but I wasn’t the leader of that show. Sometimes I got to take a backseat, and sometimes I got to shine. And so when I decided to do ‘The Flight Attendant,’ I was like, ‘Are people going to judge this choice, because they see me as a comedic actress?’” —Kaley Cuoco

Nobody will ever approximate the impact that Presley made, or Sinatra.” —Dick Clark
