I would love to do the therapist on 'Two and a Half Men' again or just work with Charlie Sheen.
Jane Lynch
Will Ferrell in 'Talladega Nights.' He's a very generous performer. He's kind of just one of the guys, but his name happens to be above the title.
I became quite a diva, and intolerant, and people knew when I was not pleased. Some people were afraid of me, and other people just kind of blew me off. But I wasn't making any friends. I only had one person who remained my friend, and he was my boyfriend for a while. Even though I told him I was gay, he was like, 'That's alright.'
I wanted to do something where I could hang my hat.
I try to dress the bottom I have. The body I have and the bottom I have. I have the intention of looking fabulous every time, and I care about it a great deal. I'm very vain.
I go to coffee shops for my outlet. Which is just not healthy at all.
I didn't want to be gay. I wanted to be... I wanted an easy life. And you know what? I am gay, and I still have an easy life.
I always ended up having the funny part in Shakespeare, but I really thought I'd be doing theater. That was my ambition for myself.
From the start. As early as - I felt I was in the wrong sex; I really did. I would go into my dad's room and put on his clothes.
Television is really fertile ground, and it's because of platforms like Netflix and Hulu and, of course, the cable channels like HBO and Showtime.
I've been in Chicago for every Christmas of my life.
Charlie Sheen was such a pro.
I'm like Jay Gatsby. I like to throw the party and then stand back, looking gorgeous. Stand back and watch it.
I'm kind of a manic exerciser. I'll like exercise for a week and be crazy, and then I won't do it for six months.
I think humor is such a personal thing, and you put a microphone in somebody's face, they're going to say something that offends somebody.
I can fool people that I was educated.
I'd drop whatever I was doing to show up to do the graveyard shift of 'America's Shopping Place.'
I love the character I played in 'Criminal Minds.'
I love James Taylor and Carole King, Joni Mitchell - this is, like, early '70s stuff. I love the stuff from the '40s. I love that tight harmony that the studio singers in the '50s would sing. I love Patsy Cline. Yeah, I'm all over the place.
My brother was listening to his transistor radio. He kept switching the earpiece from one ear to the other, which I thought was his idea of a joke. 'You can't do that,' I said. 'You can only hear out of one ear.' 'No, I can hear out of both,' he answered. And that was how I discovered I was deaf in my right ear.
I love doing sketches, but I don't relish being by myself. That's not something I'm used to doing.
I don't have to talk to a surgeon to play a surgeon, you know what I mean?
I love Jennifer Saunders, the 'Absolutely Fabulous' creator.
I can be kind of razor sharp in my disapproval.
There's this weird kind of coming-in-from-left-field thing going on, and I love it - I am a huge fan of Christopher Durang.
To this day, I still would choose the angst over something easier, when I really don't have to.
I stopped watching television like a fiend once I got into college.
I wanted to - any chance I had to dress up as a boy, like Halloween, I would be a pirate or a ghost that wore a tie. A hobo.
I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?
When I was a kid, we would get McDonalds on Christmas Eve, and that was a big deal because the closest one to the south side of Chicago was a 35 minute drive away. I remember opening the bag and smelling those fries, and even now when I smell them, it reminds me of Christmas Eve.
Nothing like falling in love with a dead actress to prove your sanity.
No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.
I love Matt LeBlanc in 'Episodes' - he's very good. And the 'Modern Family' cast just cracks me up.
I have a big family. Even though it's only three kids in our family, it's always aunts and uncles and the whole thing.
If you're contriving something, if you're making something up, it's not funny. You can tell. It's instant. It has to come from someplace real.
You know 'Ninotchka?' I recommend it. It's kind of a mess, too. It was before, you know, we got slick editing tools, so it kind of chops along.
I do feel that softness for the vulnerability and the innocence in our world, including my own.
I'm a character actress, and my particular brand is more mature, so I had to wait until my age caught up with the tricks in my little arsenal.
'Zoolander.' Yeah, I mean, I love Ben Stiller; he's just a brilliant guy. And I love Will Ferrell in it, too. His character, to me, is just insane, and he made such huge choices, and he's such a weirdo!
I've never really had specific goals and stuff like that - I think I sort of learned early on that if you kind of let life roll in at your feet, you will get a lot of great stuff if you are just aware and open to it.
I think a little tidbit I can give you is that I grew up with basically everything handed to me, except for my career. I worked for that.
I watch very selective television. I watch 'Mad Men,' and I usually watch a season at a time.
But now that I've matured, I've realized that - at the end of the day - what's really important is the work, not what people think of me.
I've just always loved singing, and I come from a family that loves singing around the kitchen table.
I have to admit that I was a little nervous when I showed up for my first official 'Wreck-It Ralph' recording session.
Football is very masculine and, to me, a metaphor for war.
Standing by myself, just having everybody looking at me the entire time, is not my idea of a good time.
I'm a person who likes habit and knowing what my job is.
I'm kind of a 'Fix-It Felix' video girl. I like the simpler, sweeter kind of games.
I had friendships with two people in my life who, when I attempted to do my habitual behavior of building a case to break up with them, wouldn't allow me to do it. They both said to me, 'I'm not going anywhere.' And that moved me so deeply.
