I am, uh... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished... for not being anorexic.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

I've always just gone with the best role, and I don't care if it's in theater, film or television.

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.

I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

It was only when I moved to New York that I realized tall is good.

I really came out to L.A. to take the money and run.

I think Janeane Garofalo is incredibly funny, and I love Dennis Miller.

To actually be allowed to be beautiful is a total first for me.

I want to play a Disney villainess so badly.

I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

If you love it, and work really hard at it, it will really happen, I believe. I'm living proof.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

When you're that tall, people talk about it all the time.

And to be different is great. You don't want to be the same.

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

I am, uh... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished... for not being anorexic.

I'd so much rather people think I was funny than pretty.

May I say, if you were suddenly put into a woman's body, wouldn't you be slightly interested in your breasts, and why people look at certain parts of you, and why certain parts move like they do?

I spent 10 years in New York doing theater.

But this show reminds me that there are other aspects to me besides the fact that I'm a funny chick.

I dont consider myself a goody goody but I like to be perceived as classy.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

We've had it very clear to the Bosnians that our obligation to equip and train their forces is completely conditional on the foreign forces being gone.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

PR is extremely important, and being able to use it in the right way means everything. You have to market your success.
