Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.
I just don't lose weight easily.
Comedy to me is all about the bumps and bruises and weird tics.
I'm really happy in my life.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.
I'm not a great pregnant woman.
It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.
Everybody's a train wreck in their own very special way. But there's something wildly freeing about someone who's unapologetic, who knows they're a wreck and doesn't even try to hide it, just bulldozes through life.
I just think we tear down women in this country for all these superficial reasons, and women are so great and strong.
I have blocks of wood all over my house; I spend all of my day knocking!
Funny is funny, and it can come in 8 billion different shades and flavors, so I think it's silly to kind of limit it.
We're a weird bunch at 'Mike & Molly.' We go to work, and we're crazy about each other, and we love where we go to work.
There are a lot of funny women in my life. I never understand those movies where there's eight funny guys and two women who don't have any opinion or humour.
