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

I thought I was learning about show business. The more painful it was, the more important I thought the experience must be. Hating it, I convinced myself it must be invaluable.

I hated the whole idea of being an actress. I used to throw up before every performance and cry afterward.

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

In repose, my face looks as though I had gone through a terrible deal in the last five minutes. I have to disguise the expression and get a glassy-eyed look. That's something I learned from my dog.

It's tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That's the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting.
