Onstage, I was never the ingenue.
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?
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.
