I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.

I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.

I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.
