Sometimes acting is really cool because it forces you to exercise certain muscles in your personality that you wouldn't normally be called upon in life.

Well, I knew I wanted to be an actor, and I didn't necessarily need or want to be famous or a celebrity actor.

I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus. But when you become an actress, you want to play a variety of things.

The Farrelly brothers make movies the way you imagine a movie set would be when you're a kid - fun all the time.

I know so many amazing actors who don't get work... and then there are a bunch of real duds that work all the time. The industry is just not fair in that way.

I spent my whole adolescence, when you just want to be accepted, looking much younger than everyone else.

I don't know if this is true of everyone, but I have this relationship with my parents where, despite however mature or articulate or grown-up I think I've become, as soon as I go home, I turn into this petulant 13-year-old, especially with the tone of my voice.
