I don't sleep, but I've got two little kids that don't sleep, either.
My parents are kind and accepting. Because so many of my friends were gay, it was just an accepted thing in my house. I was very lucky.
I wore white kabuki makeup, had blue-black hair. At one point, I shaved an inch and a half around my hairline and continued the white makeup up so it made my head look slightly deformed. I thought it was hilarious.
We have some of the most rock-solid, lovely friends in the world.
I was only a bridesmaid for my sister, and it was very calm and small, so I didn't have any tragedy.
I was never sullen. I was a terrible punk - I was still so chatty.
I would love to be directed by more women.
My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
Funny is funny, and it can come in 8 billion different shades and flavors, so I think it's silly to kind of limit it.
I have blocks of wood all over my house; I spend all of my day knocking!
I think everything that any actor does, I would assume, is shaped by how and where they grew up.
I could eat healthier; I could drink less.
I have an overactive sense of justice. I want women to realize you don't have to work for the company. You can run the company. I want the scope for them to be endless.
I just think we tear down women in this country for all these superficial reasons, and women are so great and strong.
