You have to be smart to play a dumb blonde over and over again and keep the audience's attention without extraordinary physical equipment.

People have a hard time making me dress up to look like a classy gal.

I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.

I'm trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else's skin. Sometimes I feel I've accomplished it. But when I don't, I'm nobody at all, having left myself at home

Never do nothing you wouldnt want printed on the front page of The New York Times.

I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I've never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman - she's really my only idol. It's going to be a big stretch - certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile.

I've always loved words. I ate up all the books I could get my hands on, and when I couldn't get books, I read candy wrappers and labels on cereal and toothpaste boxes.
