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.

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

An actress, around 40, on television, that's where you get the most torture, I think.

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 think it's very easy to get caught up and think that how many hits you get in a magazine because you were seen out somewhere has anything to do with a director's opinion of you, and whether they could use you or not.

I do like reality shows, and I watch some of them because they're high drama. It's also just fun to watch people have honest reactions.

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.
