One of things I like about looking at pictures when you're young and also meeting back with old friends you haven't seen in a long time is, for me, it's a glimpse of who I was.
I have to read something positive every single day. I have to have faith that the day is unfolding in a way that is going to be useful to somebody else... For me, living every day in gratitude has been profound for me.
You're sexy when you're young. You've got it going on, and then you have your kids, and you give your whole life to your kids, and then they're kind of gone, and like, what do you do? You've got to fight to stay inspired, and you've got to fight to learn new things and stay young in your heart.
As you get older, you have to fix your insides, because your face naturally gets a little crabby-looking, so if you're thinking mean thoughts, you look doubly mean when you get older. You can't hide it.
Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' was a perfect song. It was so beautiful and so heartfelt. Her vocals were so amazing. And, for me, that was a song I went to when I was feeling sad and wanted to feel even sadder.
Sitcoms are usually given short shrift by the acting profession, but it's quite an amazing job.
I'm not overweight, but I'm not in shape at all. I do not work out.
I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.
I enjoy learning about the new technologies. I enjoy getting to know the new fans and dealing with them on their turf.
In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic.
I think it's really hard to understand the depths and the power of the love that someone has for their children unless you really have children.
I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.
I don't even know how to swim!
Howard the Duck!' That's a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career, because I've had a lot of very interesting ups and downs, and most people... That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it's kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it's kind of a poster child for flops.
