I wanted to be on 'Saturday Night Live' since I was ten.

It's so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.

I love eye makeup. I really like doing a cat eye, playing with liquid liners and different colors of liners, like emerald and deep blues, combining them with black.

My dad is Irish. I spent my childhood going back and forth between Ireland and America.

I was just learning to be by myself. He seemed to really see me, see through the bullshit...He was so handsome, and he could dance. I thought, 'He won't be interested in me; I'm not a contender. He was so cool, so funny - I was such a fan of his and had always fancied his speed and his intelligence. I thought, 'I'm not beautiful enough or his type.'

I could find David Beckham naked in a cardboard box on my doorstep and I would drop him off at the pound.

A lot of people assume that women of a certain age who are not unattractive have no excuse for not having a perfect life. But you can have emotional baggage that is dragging you down like cement blocks tied to your feet.
