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'd played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.
I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.
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.
I have no affectation when I speak.
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 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.
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.
An actress, around 40, on television, that's where you get the most torture, I think.
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.
Blonde is dumb comedy, red hair is smart, sexy comedy.
We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is-which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights.
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.
We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that's what's happening right now-it's part of our culture.
