I still don`t know quite what I`m supposed to do or be.

Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I`m really ill-prepared to do anything else.

All that some actresses want is for people to take them seriously instead of caring about how they look. For me, I`ve worked hard for people to think I`m funny. quoted in Playboy (April 2002)

I was really, really, really skinny. Great big mouth on a little face. Just goofy-looking. More goofy than I am now. Really goofy.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

We`ve had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He`s handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

When all of a sudden, people say, `Wow, you look nice,` and carry on, it`s shocking. Really awkward.

The only other thing that interested me as a kid was being a bricklayer. So if I hadn`t become an actress, I would probably be a bricklayer.

Filming scenes like that are always odd but I feel comfortable with Josh and care about him a great deal, so it could be much worse. Scenes like that are just part of the job.

If I didn`t have fake nails, my fingers would be bloody stumps.

Mary and I look eerily similar but other than that, the differences are pretty much night and day.

You`re asking the wrong girl about fame. I`m hardly famous. I wouldn`t want to trade places with anyone else.

There`s a lot more room for error in drama. With comedy, if you mess up, you fall flat on your face. With drama there`s a lot more room to play.

I think I`m as content as one can be.

I`m probably the most introverted extrovert you`ll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, `She was really good, but she`s just not cute enough.`
