Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.

I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

In some roles I have to wear fur, and I always make sure it's fake, like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Faux fur is great because it shows people that faux can look fabulous.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

I am, uh ... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished ... for not being anorexic.

I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

I don't believe in prom,' I reminded her as she rounded a corner. I expertly angled my raisin bran to accomodate the g-forces. I'd done this before.

Leadership is the art of the future.

Just because you believe it doesn't make it so.

I wanted to find out why I wasn't getting off on what I was doing and try and make some sense out of the evolution of it.

I'd love a super human memory. My memory has never been good.
