“I work constantly, I’m really driven by money, I’m really interested in money. It is not like I am rich by other star’s standards, but I constantly strive for more.”

(About her D-List status) “I’m open about it. You have the A-listwith Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman. The B-list is, like, Ray Romano and Debra Messing. For a while I hovered on the C-List. But then I did ‘Celebrity Mole,’ and I jumped right to D. Once you do ‘Celebrity Mole, there’s no coming back. The D-list is people who have shows on the Animal Planet.”

“The more I’m in an actual war zone, the more it’s just ugly. It’s not cool, it’s not a Toby Keith song, it’s not opening up a can of whoop-ass. It’s just horrible.”“My niece and nephew are here for the weekend. It’s time to act like I like kids.”

– Kathy Griffin  (1960- )
