I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die.

Poop humor is fun. If you do the toilet scenes well and commit to them, they can be really, really powerful.Collection: Humor
I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress.

The joke or the pratfall is easy for me to do.
No one has ever bought me underwear, and I'm a little bummed about that. Maybe it's not such a big deal any more.
My first review for the TV movie The Bionic Showdown said I was as interesting as a bus ride.
Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it's just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
I've lived next door to people all my life. I don't know how cute they think I am.
I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.
I have a thing for red-haired Irish boys, as we know.
I can install toilets. I know all about the wax ring. I can tile floors. I'm learning how to do basic wiring.
Great acting may be a turn-on, but it won't make me fantasize about the person for a week.
Everyone does things for love.
Don't corral me, and I'll always come home. Just let me go out and play during the day.
After a while, you have no idea how old you are because you've lied so many times.

My parents were opera singers and voice teachers, so growing up, I admired musicians and dancers.
I know nothing about Christianity, nothing about football, and I'm not a Republican.
Getting into television was a total fluke.
I just want people to admit that there's no one way to live your life.
I love fashion. I love couture. I'm going to erect a shelf in my bedroom with an art light to be the spot for the shoes of the month.
Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.
I'm aware that I can be annoying.
I know when I'm getting ready to mess up, I'm going to do it full-on.
As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.
I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way.
I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.
My mother always told me, 'Don't get married. Make your own life. You don't need a man.'
I think most people have that out of body experience when they win the Oscar.
The acting thing is so beyond my control. Acting isn't mine. You're like a tiny piece in this big, corporate mechanism that needs chemistry and divine intervention.
If all of a sudden someone said, 'You have five more kids,' I'd be totally OK with it.
I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.
I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed.
