I can't imagine trying to be in recovery. I mean it would be hard enough with just life going along in a nice way, but then when awful stuff happens, how you maintain the strength to get through it?

I got offered that role in Transamerica that Felicity Huffman did. That was a part that I was like, "Well, maybe I should've done that." I'm at peace with it, but that is one thing that I did turn down that went on to do great things for her. I wonder what would've happened if I would've done that.

I'm the worst speller on the planet. I'm so glad for spellcheck on my phone.

It's a challenge for me to make people like me. Maybe it's just my desperate need for people to like me, that I choose the characters I have to play. You will like me, I don't care what I've done, you're going to like me.

I can access emotions very easily.

I love working on the fly when the writers come up with new jokes on show nights. It's exciting. I love it so much.

An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.
