Moving out to L.A. for me was a leap of faith. I was very secure in my dinner theater world; I loved it, and I was just like, 'I think there's something else out there for me and I just have to go for it.'
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.
I think there are certain people that you'll always want to impress no matter how much success you have.
Thirty was a big deal for me. It was the age where I reevaluated everything - how I approached life and how I thought about myself. When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I've wasted trying to find the right man.
I come from musical theater, and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting.
I still think I'm like the poor girl from Colorado who worked three jobs to buy a car. That's still my mentality, so I'll be walking down the street, and I forget what I do and who I am.
I can be very polite, and I think that people can confuse that for all sorts of things ... But I'll take that over people assuming that I'm smart just because I'm short and rude.
You know, Ashley doesn't have a whole lot going on in her life, so she'd probably been romanticizing Madeleine for weeks, when she found out she was coming. So when she shows up and exceeds Ashley's expectations in beauty, sophistication and intelligence, she can do no wrong.
Oh, we're going to have a great time.

That's the bottom line -- that no one gets hurt, no one gets injured, or hurts someone else while they're on the road.
It was nice being offered the role and not having to audition,
It's a surprise to me, and not because I'm not proud of the work, ... But I've been out here 61/2 years, so it feels foreign. But then again, if it helps bring attention to the film, I think it's a special little film and I want people to get to know it.
It's a tough category to predict. I certainly don't expect to win. I don't typically prepare speeches. Maybe I'll do a little internal list of people I want to thank.
