Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
The recognition factor is so much higher when I'm a redhead, so when I'm a blonde I can pass under the radar a lot more easily.
I'm an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there.
In terms of sexual orientation I don't really feel I've changed. I don't feel there was a hidden part of my sexuality that I wasn't aware of. I'd been with men all my life, and I'd never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn't seem so strange.
We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult, she's not paying attention anymore.
I have low self-esteem, but I express it the healthy way... by eating a box of Double-Stuff Oreos.
Miranda: I just got Brady to sleep. Dr. Leeds: Now, do you sing to him? Miranda: Only if he's been bad.
Samantha: All married couples stop having sex eventually. Miranda: That's not true, you've had sex with plenty of married people. Samantha: That's how I know!
Doctor: Your right ovary has stopped producing eggs. Miranda: Is it possible it's just on strike?
They sent me the script and I was really charmed by it and I signed on.
All of the girls on the show are in total denial that this is ending. We're not going to know what to do with ourselves.
[My mother] worked in the Seagram's Building; it's kind of an iconic '60s skyscraper on a floor so high that your ears popped. And all the women - the whole thing was so very Mad Men, very glamorous.
My mother had me on four times [on TV show To Tell The Truth.]. Four times. Only once as a contestant, but they had a bunch of kids on at the beginning [of some shows], playing with toys or things like that.
My mother worked on a whole bunch of those; she worked on What's My Line?, I've Got A Secret, Play Your Hunch... In my memory, she worked on To Tell The Truth. So it was her job to brief the imposters.
