Blonde is dumb comedy, red hair is smart, sexy comedy.

I'd played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.

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.

I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.

Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.

I don't want to be in my meetings all sore or be at my son's graduation all sore just because of something I did in the past. (I'm) just learning and being smart.

There is no way forward without ending the occupation.

Money doesn't buy happiness. But happiness isn't everything.
