I have trouble describing characters because there is just too much going on in human beings.

You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.

I don't think that I ever thought of myself as a nerd.

I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.

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

To be able to let you know who someone is in just a couple of words, I'd have to pick the most pronounced features of a character's personality. And I always feel like I'm leaving out so many important little ones.

I always felt like I could be funny, but there was a part of me that always judged actors so harshly... I thought all actors were dumb-that they must have serious emotional problems. Even if they don't, that's the perception I had of them. I didn't want anyone to see me that way.
