You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

I’d played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.

But, I swear, they’re turning Donna into Annie Hall this season. More ties. More suits. But they’re also keeping her really motivated, ya know? Like, wanting to be a rock journalist. Wanting to be the...

A big part of being an actress specifically is feeling entitled to your artistic opinion, feeling that it means something, and being able to stand by it.

I’m a big taco fan.

I loved that about her because I knew it would open the door for a lot of comedy, because I knew that the conflict would come, because not many people live like the way she...

College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time in your life.

And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn’t make? If it’s good, it stands up.

He put a ring in the toe of a stocking. On Christmas Eve, we opened our stockings and it was there at the bottom of the toe. Then he got down on his knees and...

We can be bought, but we can’t be bored.

I don’t like the dark. I really am afraid of the dark.

It’s not that, you know, when a relationship doesn’t work and there are issues, you have to somehow work it out if there are children involved.

You’ve got to grow up sometime.

It’s hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a...

I don’t know if there was even a hundred million dollars in the whole country!

I’m writing a book and working on my one-woman show, Learning To Be Human.

I got to meet Mark Hamill. He signed some Star Wars posters for us. I saw the fight scenes he had. He was really into making fun of himself and Star Wars.

When you’re old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.

I don’t really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

It must be a balance in everything we do, not too much of everything, keep it simple, not complicated.

I always try to balance the light with the heavy – a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.

On general principle, I boycott shows that don’t employ actors.

It’s my job, to create a fantasy.

I will argue my points; I will have my opinions. But at the end of the day, it’s the director’s choice.

I always find something to keep me busy.

Censors are energetic and righteous people but they just couldn’t work a room like Abbe Lane.

I love doing comedy – I get a laugh out of it, it’s not so serious.

Why can’t I be the adorable one?

First of all, I would like to clear the air on one thing. Alison has slept with more men than Amanda; Sydney has slept with more men than Amanda; I think Matt has slept with...

Weird, but sometimes I feel more like my cartoon character than I do Lizzie because she’s a little more edgy and snappy.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed...

I think suspense is a big thing.

I thought I saw him for what he was-or what I thought he was. And he was talented, no doubt about that. But, he thought his talent was based on misery and that if he...

I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.

The day I initiated divorce proceedings against Michael Farmer, I was ready to retire to a desert cave and rethink my life.

I focused on where she was from of course, her voice and her history, her relationship with God – her religion. This was probably the strongest relationship she has had, really. She never seemed to...

I haven’t been on the stage in a long time.

I don’t want my wrinkles taken away – I don’t want to look like everyone else.

The whole sex symbol or babe thing doesn’t bother me.

Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.

I was fine when it came to cheering up others, not so fine with myself.

The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being.

Instead of joyfully looking forward to my birth, my mother began systematically preparing for her own death. She was fatalistic.

I used drugs as a social activity; a way to have fun with friends.

I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I’d never been in front of a live audience. That’s a whole other element in the play, the...

If it’s independent, it’s because I love it… ’cause they usually end up costing me money to do.

The one thing I have wanted to stay away from is the steroids. When I had an attack two years ago in my home state of Mississippi, they put me on steroids, thinking they were...

I found the right man, got married, and just had to keep not reinventing myself, just deciding that it doesn’t matter what you are if you are a good person.

They have to be able to spark my interest so I want to pursue it, and they have to have an awesome personality, really laid-back. All those things are sexy to me.

I want to have some effect on the way the world works in whatever way I can, and I also want to have the power to help get the movies that I think are important...
