I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
I'm always more attracted to the unattractive.
I try to pick music for a diner that doesnt involve a lot of lyrics, so you're not paying attention to that. As long as it doesnt dominate the party, it should be more atmosphere music. When I'm by myself, I never play music.
If I know I have to memorize lines, I'm really gonna try to memorize lines. It's hard for me sometimes, because somebody wrote these words and you're trying really hard to get them the way they said it.
I like to play unattractive people who think they're pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting.
If I'm creating something for myself, then I want to have fun.
I just hate the whole idea of labeling anything as a comedy. If you tell me something's funny, I'll want to rebel against it. When I go to a bookstore and see books categorized as humor, I get furious. Don't tell me that a book is funny. Let me decide if it's funny. It's the same with sitcoms. You call something a sitcom and people expect it to be funny. And that ruins everything.
I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.
I like working with the public, I like working with food, and I like making cash.
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home; I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
Don't associate me with comedy. And please don't say actress. I would never call myself any of those things. I hate it when people call me that.
I want witchcraft so bad that I can't stand it. I have wands in my apartment. And I use them sometimes. I walk into the kitchen with my wand, and I come out with something on a platter and I say, 'See, magic happens.' Works every time.
People who shop in health food stores never look healthy.
My mother always said 'Don't bother other people.' I think that's good advice.
