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.

I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.

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.

I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.

We're here to live. We're here to do, we're here to be.

One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.

I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life.

I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there's no compromising.

I saw all the moral decay you could, beginning at 2 years old. But I also got to see how the other half lived.

Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.

Life is a four-letter word.

Even if you are Catholic, if you live in New York you're Jewish. If you live in Butte, Montana, you are going to be goyish even if you are Jewish.

If I'm wrong about God then I wasted my life. If you're wrong about God then you wasted your eternity.

If you plan to excel in big things, you have to develop the habit in the small ones.

Character isn't who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out.

Life is like a dice, so watch the ones you're rolling with.

Make the most of your life instead of comparing it to everyone else's.

Christians aren't people who never sin or always do the right thing. We're people who live in continual repentance.

Even in our best shape we are a brittle piece of mortality. Your life is a breath, don't waste it.

I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life. Albeit inadvertently.

There's a sense of spontaneity, and no emphasis on jokes in this show. People generally talk the way they talk in life if you were in this particular situation.

All of a sudden I discovered that I'm allergic to caviar. It was the perfect metaphor for my life. When I was only able to afford bad caviar, I could certainly eat my fill of it.

Sometimes I have these fantasies of just moving to a foreign country and coming back with a full head of hair. Or not even come back! Make a new life there with hair... Change my name, just see what happens.

I don't like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about a half an inch wide.
