My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.

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.

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

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’m the youngest in my family and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.

On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.

I've been careful to keep my life separate because it's important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. I'm worth more than that.

I have trouble describing characters because there is just too much going on in human beings.

I don't even know if it's possible, but if it were, I'd like to make those kinds of old movies where the women were articulate and intelligent and flawed and witty.

This is a story about survival.Letting go and learning to let in. Getting along and moving on. The truth about life.The things left unsaid...

I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of my dear friend Ronni Chasen. I have had the honor of working with her for over 15 years. She was one of a kind. I loved her. I miss her.

A good smoker, like a good lover, always takes his time with a cigar.

National enthusiasm is the nursery of genius.

It gets to the point where you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not. It's so true. I have to slow down soon.

I don't want to allow everyone in the media to say everyone is in the alt right, which is what they try to do too often. Then it's their judgment on who is a racist and who isn't.

When you jump across a canyon, cautious small steps and vacillation won't work. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

I am begining to look more and more like my miserable imitators.

Be friends first when you're dating. If it turns into something more, that's awesome, and if not you have another friend.
