For me, coming to work and laughing is so much more preferable than coming to work and having to cry over a corpse or something. That's a drag.
I never underestimate the power of hot rollers for your hair and eyelash curlers for your eyelashes.
I love my nose! I was so nervous when I got pregnant that I was going to get that weird nose spread that you sometimes see pregnant ladies get.
I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.
I think every job that you do gives you the opportunity to learn something new. As hokey as that sounds, that's why I have a problem saying no to my friends. That's why I do so many random comedy shows.
I had a baby with no pain medicine, mainly because most people I talked to didn't think I'd be able to do it. So there!
Freaks and Geeks' was a show where our individuality was really celebrated.
The rugs that I picked out and the pillows with the little owls, sort of like whimsical throw pillows - I feel like you can never enough whimsical throw pillows in your house, in your life. My husband probably disagrees.
There are some people that don't take jobs because they think that they're too good for them or that they aspire to do something greater than the job that they're being presented with. I've just never been from that school.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there's nothing guilty about it.
I actually feel like, for a lot of my career, I wasn't able to show my comedic range. I did a lot of dramas and dramedies. I was on 'E.R.' That's not generally thought of as a funny show.
I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves.
I just take jobs that will have me. I'm an actress that works. I'm not an actress who's ever waited.
I have to make a dress out of recycled materials for my kid's preschool 'Project Runway'-like assignment. I'm currently fusing plastic bags.
