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.
Make America great again? Right, but now it comes back to us in a completely twisted way. And in some ways they achieve that, or they at least achieve the appearance of that, but now you try and do it again and it's just... it's so out of sync with who we obviously are as a people.
It is interesting to see how far we've come as a society since then. But also how everybody keeps touching [Ronald] Reagan and trying to evoke him.
I do tend to be an analyzer. 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.
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.
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.

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.
