I'm not a first-place person.

I like working with the public, and I like that it's really hard work.

They just expected it to you know... Paul, Steve and I could have hired our own publicist, if we wanted to, but I kind of liked the way it was more of a cult thing and those that liked it, liked it, you know what I mean?

You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.

Whenever I do your show, sometimes I get a little check in the mail and then I take that check and buy a new pair of shoes, and then I wear those shoes the next time I do your show.

You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.

I like to make things, but I looked at old craft books on weaving or mosaics or whatever, I'm like, 'I don't really know anything about that stuff.'

But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.

A lot of crafters, they're shut-ins.

I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.

But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.

I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.

My kitchen's pink, like skin-tone pink, and I lowered my spice rack so it's eye level - it's true! - and my phone, so I can reach it when I fall, it's right there.

A lot of times girls think they're funny, but they want to pretty at the same time, and if you want to be funny, you have to be willing to get ugly.

We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.

I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.

Books are challenging and inspirational to me.

It was more of their quirky show. It was more like a cult show. The ratings weren't really that high.

I like to play unattractive people who think they're pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting.

Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.

I like to decide the night before Thanksgiving that I'm gonna do it, and I'll see what riff raff is around. Then I get that last-minute surge of energy. But if I had two weeks to plan, sometimes I wish I wasn't doing it. But very seldom does that happen.

I want witchcraft so bad that I can't stand it. I have wands in my apartment. And I use them sometimes. I walk into the kitchen with my wand, and I come out with something on a platter and I say, 'See, magic happens.' Works every time.

I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.

I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.

I love cop shows and crime books and thrillers, and before I die I'm gonna play a cop.

When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out; I'm not good at it.

I always find something to keep me busy.

David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.

I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.

I'm not a first-place person.

I'm not ambitious.
