Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

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 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 wrapped that Monday and started on my third episode for Miss Match on Thursday of that same week and we just wrapped yesterday cause it was split over the holiday.

Men always want to be a womans first love women like to be a mans last romance.

In order to grow emotionally and mentally, sometimes you have to grow physically as well. I'm just trying to grow, man, and always I just want to be the best and most confident me I can be.

Algebra is the intellectual instrument which has been created for rendering clear the quantitative aspects of the world.

Molecular chemistry, the chemistry of the covalent bond, is concerned with uncovering and mastering the rules that govern the structures, properties and transformations of molecular species.

One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.

All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.

There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.

The older you get, the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?

I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.

Everybody expects me to win the gold medal.

I've learned lately that no one is going to hand me a permission slip and tell me to take time out for me.

Whether you're an opera singer, a legislator or customer service operator, there is a way that we can find common ground with our audience - be they young or old, Democrats or Republicans, rich or poor, religious or secular.

All I've ever ended up with in terms of achievements is the movie, some really stupid anecdotes, a bunch of crosswords that I didn't finish and maybe some old bicycle that I found lying around on set.

The iceberg cuts its facets from within like jewelry from a grave.
