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 not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.

I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.

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

I've always lived in a city.

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

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.
