It makes it really hard to just go to a dinner party because, in my work life, I'm surrounded by the funniest people, ever. I'm really spoiled. I laugh a lot, in my day.

I'm not prepared for a zombie apocalypse. I need more bottled water, a shotgun, and stronger abs. I have plenty of canner food.

I'm a lover of lists and five-year plans and Excel spreadsheets. Any way that I can have any control over the direction my life is going, I gravitate towards that.

I still get nervous when I have a lot of makeup on, a big hairdo, and a dress.

Be willing to work for nothing in things you think are stupid. Make work for yourself. Make your own luck. Don't complain. Hopefully, the work will find you if you are ready.

Growing up, I was a very shy, wallflower type. I was not a nerd, but not popular. I was just invisible, like that person you probably didn't know you were in school with.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.

I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went.

I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles... I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days.

I'd been out in Los Angeles for about eight years, knocking around. I actually, instead of waiting tables, worked in offices as a temporary assistant.

But sometimes, things are better to just hear. Some questions better left unasked. Some words better left unsaid. Because saying them doesn’t make you matter any less.

Our perceptions shape whether challenges are obstacles that block our path to success or important arrows that steer us in the direction we want to go.

Irony and hip ennui are extremely authoritarian.

Being from the Midwest, I would say that I like that East Coast mentality, it's more direct. What you see is what you get.

The way to stay popular as a quarterback in the NFL is never to play.

The life blood streaming thro' my heart, Or my more dear immortal part, Is not more fondly dear.

So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants.

Be proactive. Ask yourself, "Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?"

Diseases desperate grown By desperate appliances are relieved, Or not at all.
