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.

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

Shirley MacLaine said, You're so funny, then gave me a hug. Everything went white. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see. I thought I was going to pass out

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.

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.

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.
