I like more grounded comedy. I enjoy broad comedies also, but I like Shirley MacLaine.
I'm pretty much game for anything.
When I started auditioning, I'd take any audition I could get. The more dramatic ones didn't go as well as the comedic.
Everything is a struggle. Everything is relative, too, so I still feel like I'm struggling, in many aspects. I'm not worried about paying my rent next month, but in about two months, we'll see.
I've always surrounded myself with funny people,
I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'
I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
I remember, as a kid, my dad always told me, "Getting older beats the alternative." Although, now my father actually is the alternative, so I don't know what he would say. He's completely dead.
I'm terrified by speaking in front of people!
My mother married three times. My dad is... I don't really have one. I mean, he does exist, but I have zero relationship with him.
I bring a poofy gray down jacket with me wherever I go. It's meant for winter, but I use it most in the summer, when everyone cranks up the air-conditioning.
Thank God I didn't put my career over family. That would have been the biggest mistake of my life. I'm really happy it went the way it did.
I have lunches with my girlfriends, who just turned 40, and some of those lunches, we're crying and screaming about our husbands, saying we want to leave them and run away. And then, other lunches, we're fine and love our husbands and are happy with our lives.
Women love hairy men. Cavemen were the sexiest men in history.
