I think if anyone tells you the odds are slim, just keep walking. Just do whatever the hell you want to do, because they don't know what they're talking about. When you love something, and you work really really hard at it, you can do it.

I think the reason I'm an actress is because I love playing kind of a more extreme people.

I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.'

Once you start writing a character visually, you're in trouble.

I've been every size in the world. Parts of my 20s, I was in great shape, but I didn't appreciate it. If I was a 6 or an 8, I thought, "Why aren't I a 2 or a 4?" Now I feel like I have two great kids and the dreamiest husband on the planet, and everything else is just a work in progress.

You can't just play crazy. It makes you push yourself to stay in the realm of reality. And when you do that, it's a lot funnier. That's my favorite, when you think it's a real strange person and not just someone being wacky.

I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.
