Yes, I have a good sense of humor to sort of last a long time in show business, and I think to be able to find comedic value in who you are and the people that you work is always a good thing.
I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.
I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of 'Ally McBeal.' Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald.
I'm willing to go further than other people on camera.
I'm a New York girl. I want to stay here and raise my son here.
I never thought I'd sing or dance on national television.
I consider myself to be more real-sized than most of the actresses in California and in show business. They're very small. They're like miniature people.
If I could do theater during the hiatus and then do '30 Rock' in the winter, that would be my ideal job.
If I'm ever lucky enough to be part of an awards tribute, I hope they play 'Muffin Top' in my little clip. That's how I want to be remembered.
Oh, I'll tell you about 'Anyone Can Whistle' - the lesson I learned with doing that record is that the simplest songs are the hardest to do.
It takes a lot out of you to do a one-hour episodic lead of a show. I don't think actors realize that when they take the job.
The excitement of being in a rehearsal room is good for me.
Who wouldn't want to be an 'American Idol' judge? It's an awesome, awesome show.
