So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.

My kids can't watch ('Howard the Duck'). By the time I get in bed with the duck, they are, like, 'Turn it off, mom. You in bed with a duck is just pretty much a deal breaker.'

The whole experience of doing a sitcom is... Telling jokes with such precision is really exciting, but it's also terrifying.

My mother told me to raise my kids with calculated neglect. They get their self-worth from doing what they can do and not having everything done for them.

I only grow hair in places that men like.

I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.

Usually, you don't really end up lifelong buddies with your co-stars.
