We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is-which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights

I’m the youngest in my family and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.

Christina Ricci is amazing, the most professional actor I think I've ever met. You can be chatting with her and when they call action, she's right there.

I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.

At 45, you know what you're doing, but you're still not done.

On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.

You can't help but just be aware that things might not always be as good as they are, because people's feelings about others can turn on a dime.
