I do like reality shows, and I watch some of them because they're high drama. It's also just fun to watch people have honest reactions.

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.
I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.
Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?
I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed
Shirley MacLaine said, You're so funny, then gave me a hug. Everything went white. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see. I thought I was going to pass out
You can't help but just be aware that things might not always be as good as they are, because people's feelings about others can turn on a dime.
I don't think that I ever thought of myself as a nerd.
Now, unless someone's, like, 50 or older, they're meant to behave like girls. And it's a broad stroke: It's not just a moment of being vulnerable and girlish.
I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.
To be able to let you know who someone is in just a couple of words, I'd have to pick the most pronounced features of a character's personality. And I always feel like I'm leaving out so many important little ones.
At 45, you know what you're doing, but you're still not done.
An actress, around 40, on television, that's where you get the most torture, I think.
On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
Christina Ricci is amazing, the most professional actor I think I've ever met. You can be chatting with her and when they call action, she's right there.
I hate cosmetics companies. They get you addicted to the perfect lipstick or nail polish and then, six months later, they discontinue it. You have to buy your favorite colors like you're storing up for the Apocalypse.
One thing I really want to explore is writing.
This isn't just an unhappy planet. Sometimes very good things can happen.
In college I castrated 21 rats, and I got pretty good at it.
There was a time there when I thought going out was so fun. I don't know how it happens, but suddenly that's not a priority anymore.
This is who I am. Not everybody has to like it.
I don't even know if it's possible, but if it were, I'd like to make those kinds of old movies where the women were articulate and intelligent and flawed and witty.
I just listened to that inner voice. By the way, it's always a good move to listen to that inner voice... if it doesn't lead to a crime
You can't pursue something and be committed to it if you're apologizing for it at every party.
I think it's very easy to get caught up and think that how many hits you get in a magazine because you were seen out somewhere has anything to do with a director's opinion of you, and whether they could use you or not.
I’m the youngest in my family and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.
I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.
I have trouble describing characters because there is just too much going on in human beings.
I've been careful to keep my life separate because it's important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. I'm worth more than that.
Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.
You become a celebrity, not because of your work or what you do, but because you have no privacy.
We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that's what's happening right now-it's part of our culture.
Watching a person lose their dignity used to be uncomfortable, and now it's an expected part of the program that we're becoming comfortable with.
Shirley MacLaine said, You're so funny, then gave me a hug. Everything went white. I couldn't hear, I couldn't see. I thought I was going to pass out.
One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that's possible. If he'd have me.
My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.
I have no affectation when I speak.
I found the right man, got married, and just had to keep not reinventing myself, just deciding that it doesn't matter what you are if you are a good person.
I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
Blonde is dumb comedy, red hair is smart, sexy comedy.
I'm the youngest in my family, and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.
I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would be a part of.
I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.
Since I had the baby I can't tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn't need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that.
I'm pretty middle-of-the-road. There are some issues I'm more conservative on.
