  • “I remember the pilot like it was yesterday, ... From the day I read that script, there was some kind of destiny to it.”
  • “Were women meant to do everything-work and have babies?”
  • “I may not be a great actress but I've become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little.”
  • “People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.”
  • “I never have really said much about the whole episode, which was endless. But his speech was a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did.”
  • “Maybe if people are getting worn out with reality shows, which they don't seem to be, comedies will start reasserting themselves.”
  • “I love the sort of cat and mouse with Denny Crane and that's really fun to play,”
  • “Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans”
  • “When are you going to realize that if it doesn't apply to me it doesn't matter?”
  • “It's impossible to be more flat-chested than I am.”
  • “I couldn't hold it together today. George Clooney asked me if I was OK, and I practically collapsed. I couldn't stop crying, I had to go off sobbing like an idiot.”
  • “Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.”
  • “Glamorized ... am I glamorous?”
  • “I'd seen the show, and I'd read the reviews of the show, and I said, 'Oh! What I wouldn't give to work with those two guys.”
  • “Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.”
