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.

My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired 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.

I've been careful to keep my life separate because it's important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. I'm worth more than that.

There was a time there when I thought going out was so fun. I don't know how it happens, but suddenly that's not a priority anymore.

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

I just listened to that inner voice. By the way, it's always a good move to listen to that inner voice... if it doesn't lead to a crime
