Actress

I have trouble keeping plants alive. Even plastic ones.

Straight men should take a thirteen-week course from a gay man to fully appreciate what's fabulous about women.

My motto is 'In Tina Fey I trust.'

The excitement of being in a rehearsal room is good for me.

I consider myself to be more real-sized than most of the actresses in California and in show business. They're very small. They're like miniature people.

I have been lucky to be surrounded by other great working moms, like Tina Fey. I've certainly taken a lot of advice from her in every realm, from actor choices to mom choices.

My new favourite smell is new baby smell. It makes me so happy. If someone could bottle that, I'd love to have it.

There's never enough hours in the day to do what you want to do. What I've become OK with is that not everything can be done today. As long as I can get that time in with my son, then I can get all of the other stuff done today or tomorrow.

What I love about doing live theater and the same material night after night is... you can live inside the same words. There comes a great joy in that, in making it so clear because you've had the time to define it.

When a hot woman walks by, and we ask if she's your type, refrain from saying things like, 'Nah, I like a woman with a little meat on her bones' as you give us a squeeze.

I never thought I'd sing or dance on national television.

Cheyenne Jackson is just a dream.

I'm a girl from Jersey.

I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of 'Ally McBeal.' Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald.

Who wouldn't want to be an 'American Idol' judge? It's an awesome, awesome show.

I think when I was younger, I strived for perfection. And now I strive for my imperfections because I think they're more interesting.

I think it's hilarious at 40 years old to bring out my roller skates from 'Starlight Express.' I find the humor and even the sadness in it hilarious and something to celebrate.

I will very happily grow old in the comedic world of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, if they would keep having me over and over.

My parents were involved in community theater in New Jersey. Instead of hiring a baby sitter, they would take me with them. So my love of acting seeped in from watching my parents and seeing them having fun.

Female movie stars from the pre-Code era of Hollywood, like Mae West, could be so raunchy and witty before they were edited. Sometimes they could go further in their wit than we go now.
