Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.

Blonde is dumb comedy, red hair is smart, sexy comedy.

We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that's what's happening right now-it's part of our culture.

I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.

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.

From elementary school on up through junior high school, I loved to perform. But I put it all away during high school and college. I thought, "That's not actually something you do with your life." But then I was compelled to try it after college. I just got overcome.

I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.
