I think a Celebrity Survivor would be great.
Pretty much everywhere I go, I'm pretty much thinking I'm going to be bounced. I am still the outsider who snuck into the party. I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
No, I love Montreal... I think I love Montreal more than Montreal loves me... I love the food there.
Well, I think that when I perform on the road I always thank the audience for buying a ticket because it's a big deal to buy a ticket for a live entertainment, get a baby-sitter and pay for the meal, the parking, whatever.
I'll be honest, there's a part of me that does think I'm held to a different standard than my contemporaries and peers, and it's a little frustrating.
Put your eyebrows on the night stand and hang up the phone. He has lady eyebrows; pretty, drag-queen eyebrows. Enough with the tweezing.
Everybody in LA is really snobby, ... They were all like, 'We gotta go - on our way to do RenŽe Zellweger's house.' It was a typical LA experience. If you want to go to a restaurant in LA, you have to be on Desperate Housewives .
Phoenix is great. I love Phoenix, ... I love Scottsdale. I love the James Hotel. I have a Kathy Griffin suite. I love -what's that place called? AZ 88. I had never had a cheese crisp, so I went to - oh, can't remember. We went to the State Fair, where I was all about the deep-fried Twinkie. I ate every deep-fried thing - oh, it was heavenly. I ate until I got sick.
Look, you guys, I know I'm not Courteney Cox. But I'm telling you, the house is better than me. They were like, 'I don't think so.'
Chris Rock doesn't do that, ... They're paying me my normal rate like I was doing a theater or college. So I'm there. Me in someone's living room.
What I would really love is to be on a sitcom again, ... Everybody talks about Desperate Housewives - that's one show, and they're all gorgeous. But where's the Roseanne ? Where's the real women who are funny? That's where I come in.
There are lots of little mom and pop furniture stores in L.A., which is perfect for me because I like to mix the old with the new.
We're so used to seeing celebrities being driven around in limos. I can go to an In-N-Out Burger whenever I want, and no one takes my picture.
The fact that that really is my life, and that my husband Matt - who you see on the show - is like the most normal guy in the world.
