Ben and I have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood that's all actors and the Sunset Strip. We crave talking to people who do different things and are passionate about it.
Ben and I live like hermits. The night of a concert, we'll be like, 'Do you think we can get tickets?' And everybody is like, 'No, why didn't you do this earlier?'
I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'
I wanted to be a drag queen so badly. I'll bet I still own more wigs than any drag queen - I love me a wig.
I loved the playfulness of fashion. I think maybe that's why I became an actress. You put on one outfit and feel one way, and another one will make you feel another way. Clothes are a wonderful tool.
When I read a character that I really, really love, I know immediately what they look like. It's like I want to 100 percent become that person.
When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's, like, my favorite thing on earth.
There’s a greatness in not caring what people think
I don't associate with people who blame the world for their problems. You are your problem. You are also your solution.
Hollywood wants to make women so perfect. Perfect hair. Perfect job. Perfect manners... I know some of the most beautiful women, and they are so weird. That's what makes them funny and captivating.
I watch HGTV like a maniac, and when it's bad, it's like some crazy college guy watching a football game.
It's like I'm managing to achieve all this success in spite of my affliction ... Would you ever put that in the headline for a male star?
I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else'.
I ran right back to work. My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
