I don’t consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.
In some roles I have to wear fur, and I always make sure it’s fake, like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Faux fur is great because it shows people that faux can look fabulous.
I was a full foot taller than any child my age.
I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.
I’ve always just gone with the best role, and I don’t care if it’s in theater, film or television.
I like people-watching and fading into crowds.
To actually be allowed to be beautiful is a total first for me.
It was only when I moved to New York that I realized tall is good.
I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.
When you’re that tall, people talk about it all the time.
I’d so much rather people think I was funny than pretty.
I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.
My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.
I think that there are many different ways of getting and staying sober. Like religion, I just don’t think that one way is the only way.
I’m a strong person, but I’d never resort to violence.
I think Janeane Garofalo is incredibly funny, and I love Dennis Miller.
May I say, if you were suddenly put into a woman’s body, wouldn’t you be slightly interested in your breasts, and why people look at certain parts of you, and why certain parts move like they do?
Onstage, I was never the ingenue.
And to be different is great. You don’t want to be the same.
I spent 10 years in New York doing theater.
I want to play a Disney villainess so badly.
