Vanity's really overrated. When I was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall... I don't need to be pretty anymore. I just am who I am.

I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn't nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked.

No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.

Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.

I have always had huge respect for comedians/comediennes. It's because comedy is very hard to portray.

I want to go play a villain or an action hero or a nice, light, romantic comedy or something. That would be good.

As I see it, there's mainstream comedy - and then there's me, out in the badlands.

I love the basic comedy of growing a moustache.
