My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that.

I love the unknown. I love the discovery of what will be happening and just kind of sitting back and not knowing.

Designing a house is like doing a movie: Once you're done, you want to say, 'I hope you all enjoy it.'

It's a lot of accumulated joy and tension and all kinds of emotions just pouring out of all us. We've all been preparing for this day and we all knew that one day we would just have to move on with our lives and careers even though we all love this show and love working together. But it's still an incredibly emotional time, especially for me with a lot of journalists asking me how it feels about FRIENDS coming to an end. It's started to make me think very deeply about what it's all meant to me and that's made me ever more emotional!

My most disastrous date was not so much a disaster as uncomfortable for both parties involved.

I don't know. I don't like girls whining and complaining about wanting a man! I never liked "Sex and the City", the kind of thing where women only feel empowered once they find The Man. It is just not up my alley. I don't believe in it. There is nothing you can control about love.

I think you miss out on a lot of stuff when you're so protected and isolated.
