You know, last season I didn't do anything on the show, so I was frustrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: It's nice to get a paycheck. But if you don't really do anything it's not very satisfying.

I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience.

Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.

I thought I was going to be a lot more freaked out by being naked onstage. I think on film I would have been more freaked out, because film is less forgiving. But onstage it's lit so beautifully. It would make my mother look good.

Everything was coming my way, but I was going down. I was painfully empty.

I am funny. No one else thinks I am funny. But I am funny.

I'd be like, 'You're a young, vibrant woman. Where are you?' I realized that I had been living in denial.

If I am going to get in a cab to go home, and I see a sign for an open house, I will go in. I like real estate because I am the boss.

My family was blue collar, a middle-class kind of thing. My father was born in Detroit, Italian-American. My mother is English. She acted on the stage with Diana Dors. Her parents were French.

The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies.
