“My mama's name is Mescal.” — Conchata Ferrell Quote

My mama's name is Mescal.

I've never missed a single Christmas with my parents.

I was a political hippie.

I got into acting because nothing else worked. I have done literally everything. I have sold magazines door-to-door. I've worked on an assembly line in a factory, a restaurant, the desk at a hotel. I've worked in statistical typing, taught school. You name it, I tried it, and nothing worked.

The best story about Berta is my audition. I think they wanted her to be the ethnic character. They asked me to come with an Eastern European accent.

I always say to people, 'You know, if Romeo and Juliet got married, nobody would care about them.' Imagine Romeo and Juliet, six kids yelling, 'Mama, Mama, Papa, Papa!'

My mama told me it's not what they call you - it's what you answer to.

At the end of the day, I'm talented, and there's only one Lil Mama.

There's going to be a picture of 'Mama' on my obit.

I was a mama's boy.
