That's all you ever want - to do your job well enough that people on the other end are happy.

Why can't I ever play a nice, normal, salt-of-the-earth type? Is there something I should know? It's fun to play villains and character roles, of course - but I'm sure it's also fun to be a really big star and play the lead in everything, where all you have to do is show up and not blink.

The ratio of celebrity divorces is probably about the same as non-celebrity divorces; it's just that the non-celebrity divorces don't get a lot of public scrutiny, normally.

I had been watching the Emmys since I was probably 5 years old. Those shows, when you're a kid, it all seems like such a big, big deal, and only special certain people would win one of these big things like a Tony or an Emmy or an Oscar.

I think of myself as a character actress, and Karen's just one of the characters I've gotten to play, but I feel like Karen takes on so much more weight because the show was on for eight seasons, and it was such a popular show. But you have to move on to telling another story in a different world.

I typed up a long email with different band name ideas and sent it to Stephanie, and they all started with 'the'.

If we're ever seen having a public spat in a coffee shop, I think the concept of romance will die.

Multi-camera's fun because you have the immediacy of the audience and just being able to tell the story more or less straight through. The thing I like about single-camera is that you have the luxury of shooting a lot of different options.

There's sacrificing for your art, and then there's just being dumb.

Now, it's weird not to have gay characters on a show.

Theater is great because you're able to tell a narrative arc without a break. I think it's more about the material and whether what we get offered is good.

I always thought, 'Oh, Cher seems so cool. If I ever met her, I know we'd be best friends.'
