I am comforted by the fact that I find a real range of female bodies beautiful, and I hope that other people do too. And even if they don't find it beautiful I hope they're just glad that something like it is happening on TV.

I've never thought of myself as an actor, so somebody recognizing me for that would be a real shock.

I write at all different times. I write in my bed, I write at the table. I need to get it together. I'm working on a book and working, and just jam it in whenever it makes sense.

I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit

I don"t feel like there are a tremendous amount of roles for the size I am.

I don't feel like my work is dependent on my size. I feel like my work is dependent on the fact that I'm an everywoman. I'd be an everywoman if I lost 20 pounds or if I gained 50 pounds, because of my attitude and it's my relationship to the world and the fact that like I have two front teeth that are bigger than the rest of my teeth.

It would probably be too easy a cop out to say that just Republican males hate me. Though there's a large swath of them, for sure.
