That's the thing about interviews, at some point you're going to change your mind. But it's there forever and you can't escape it.
Things tend to come when they are meant to come. I know that sounds kind of like spiritual and cheesy, but I think things come when they're meant to come.
I like things that are civilized.
I hate those people who say 'I don't own a television' - I own one and I watch it whenever I can.
I watch things that are fun, or funny, or interesting.
You'll notice my eyes have sort of glazed over.
There are an infinite number of ways to be moved in the theater.
I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.
One comes to a decision based on what one wants, not based on what one doesn't want. Got it?
I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. 'Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?'
My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
Woke up this morning to the incredible news that I was nominated for an Emmy, and a shower full of dog poop. Apparently my dog is so excited, she has explosive diarrhea. I truly could not be more thankful to the Emmy voters for including me in this brilliant company of extraordinary women. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean up an enormous amount of dog poop out of my shower. Yay!
It's a very long and difficult schedule on a single-camera show.
Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over.
