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

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.

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.
