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.
Books are challenging and inspirational to me.
I like to make things, but I looked at old craft books on weaving or mosaics or whatever, I'm like, 'I don't really know anything about that stuff.'
Exercise your imagination muscle! How many uses can you come up with for a flowerpot? Write down your answers. But don't write them in this book. Grab a separate sheet of paper. I didn't spend two and a half weeks writing a book just so you could mark up the pages with your silly ideas for things you can do with a flowerpot. When it comes down to it, what's wrong with a flowerpot not being a flowerpot? Why is nothing ever good enough for you?
I love depressing movies and depressing books.
I love cop shows and crime books and thrillers, and before I die I'm gonna play a cop.
I love old cookbooks. I just got such a kick out of them, how the color would be way off or fake looking. The cook books now look so much like magazines, you'll never make food that looks like that. I'd rather see it the ugly way than they way they do it now.
They live between seven and nine years and sometimes they grow up to be teenagers but she said that my rabbit was actually really laid back.
I listen. I like to give advice. Mostly, I'll just try to listen to my friends, and they'll say the same thing over and over again.
It's driving me crazy! It's awful. I saw four last night during the Academy Awards. Four little baby mice running all over my apartment.
So all I've been doing is I cook and I clean, and I entertain at my house a lot.
They assume that I want a boyfriend, and yeah, that I'd probably like to have a baby and get married - but they're wrong.
Um, I played this lady who was in her late 40's/early 50's, who was a prostitute, drug addict and she decides to go back to high school to start her life all over again.
I'm a real domestic person, and when I was doing the TV show, I was usually the first one there and the last one to leave.
