air john met rock ron sang station time
I was at the radio station all the time and on the air all the time. I met John Travolta and a lot of the other big '70s icons. Shaun Cassidy sang 'Da Do Ron Ron' to me onstage. I thought I was a rock star; I had an all-access-pass childhood.
clouds hear involved love money time waiting waters
You always hear actors say, 'Theater is my first love,' and it is. It's a time when you really get to do what you do, and there's not a lot of waiting around and interruption and not a lot of money involved - sometimes money really clouds the waters of creativity.
I'm not as smart or talented as anyone around me. But they like me.
female nominated performance seen single wildly
I want to single out Kathryn Hahn's performance in Jill Soloway's film 'Afternoon Delight,' which in my opinion should have been nominated for an Oscar. I think it's one of the greatest female performances I've ever seen on screen, and I think she's wildly talented.
car choices good home limited listening lose mind radio satellite stuff
Before I had satellite radio installed in my car, I thought I would lose my mind listening to commercials and having limited choices on the dial. Your car is your home in L.A., so you've got to have some good stuff to listen to.
eclipse work
You don't want your personality to eclipse your work because no one would be interested in seeing your work anymore.
few job lasted
I've never, ever had a job that lasted for more than a few months.
I'll always identify as a Chicagoan; if it wasn't so cold, I'd be there forever.
allow exhausted hard love
It's hard to get those roles that allow you to show everything and feel like you're really being used and exhausted and spent, which I think is what actors really love: We want to be tired.
When I was younger, everyone thought I was Courteney Cox.
We actually use a lot of improvisation on 'Transparent.'
beside calves except maybe rub
The pedicure is beside the point - the rub is all I care about. And not just my feet, my calves and thighs. There is nothing better, except maybe a scalp massage.
amazing creatively life year
I think it's amazing that I'm 45 and it is the most creatively successful year of my life.
cannot closet rather size
I actually cannot stand a room without a view - I would rather have a bedroom the size of a closet with a view over a suite without one.
