I have caught my reflection and thought, 'Oof. That girl is struggling. That girl is tired.' I've had mornings where I'm like, 'Oh God, I have weird hair.'
I see teenagers or people who are 21 and think, 'I was an idiot at that age.' I was running around New York like a crazy woman. Thank God I only had three and a half cents to my name. I was too immature to handle success then.
I believe it matters how you treat people. I believe in Heaven. I don't believe that this is it, and then we're done. I have a lovely relationship with God, although when I've lost someone or I've seen a sick child, I've had conversations with Him in which I've had to ask, 'How can that be right?'
Ben and I live like hermits. The night of a concert, we'll be like, 'Do you think we can get tickets?' And everybody is like, 'No, why didn't you do this earlier?'
Ben and I have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood that's all actors and the Sunset Strip. We crave talking to people who do different things and are passionate about it.
When I went to college, I did clothing and textiles. It really wasn't until I moved to New York, my second night in, I did stand-up. I took a wild left turn, and instead of going back and finishing school at FIT, I started doing stand-up and acting.
When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's, like, my favorite thing on earth.
Famous doesn't mean anything. Just because people know my face doesn't mean they know us or that it makes us any more interesting or better.
When I read a character that I really, really love, I know immediately what they look like. It's like I want to 100 percent become that person.
I have experience dressing me as a 6, a 12, and more. And when you go above a size 12, you don't lose your love of fashion.
I didn't really know how to write jokes, so I just told weird, long stories about being tall and beautiful and wealthy in New York. I'd tell them very seriously, but I kind of looked like a drag queen at the time with big wigs and crazy 12-inch platform heels.
I didn't wear jeans for, like, a decade of my life.
One of the best parts of a woman's body is that curve, and I go a little bit higher on all of my things to show off the best part of the hourglass.
I'm a huge 'Ghostbusters' fan. I've seen it, like, 10,000 times, so I couldn't be more looking forward to a reboot.
