I started out in stand-up when I was 18, which is really masochistic, and I did it really till I started going in movies. I did it for about three years out in LA.

I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.

People pay to see movies with women looking beautiful, but I think there will be a place for me to play women looking my own age.

I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.

"Stand up against the wall!" That's what everybody gets offered, especially women. When women started appearing on TV again in something other than the girl or the mother role it was all, "Get up against the wall," or, "The skin underneath her fingernail would tell me that she," you know, forensic stuff. Oh, God gross. Now, they're hunting terrorists.

I started out in stand-up, so it's very satisfying to make people laugh, but it usually means at your own expense.
