More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.
When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out; I'm not good at it.
A lot of times girls think they're funny, but they want to pretty at the same time, and if you want to be funny, you have to be willing to get ugly.
I am an aging Girl Scout.
I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.
I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.
Don't leave a piece of jewelry at his house so you can go back and get it later; he may be with his real girlfriend.
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.
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 think it's still kind of weird to memorize a line, because you're supposed to 'be' this person, you know? So then its like, if I'm really this person, how can I be in the moment if I know there's just one line I'm supposed to say? It doesn't feel natural. I always just kind of want to say whatever comes up.
I like to just make things... If I have the TV on, I'm not just going to sit there. I want to do something with my hands; I've always got a project. Or I get a small group of people over, and I say, 'Let's make these things today.'
Usually I'm the one asking somebody to do something because I don't know how to finish it. I'm like, 'Do this for me' because I'm just resistant to learning.
I like working with the public, and I like that it's really hard work.
Whenever I do your show, sometimes I get a little check in the mail and then I take that check and buy a new pair of shoes, and then I wear those shoes the next time I do your show.
