At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.

I am a fierce patriot, and I try to be outspoken about my beliefs.

I'm hoping maybe people like working with me because I like what I do for a living and I want to have a good time.

It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

I don't pay attention to the ratings.

I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. "Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?"

I would almost rather be in debt constantly than work with horrible people that I hate.
