Keri Russell is one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life. She's one of those girls that doesn't have that thing when you walk into the trailer in the morning, and your face is all bashed in - like a lot of actors, even the beautiful and handsome ones.
I get the gold-digger part six times weekly. I can play those women into the ground, but I don't want someone telling me that's all I can do.
When I walk into a video arcade filled with 16- or 17-year-old boys, I may as well be Marilyn Monroe.
When you leave L.A. and go to another city, guys are normal again. They like girls their own age.
I have the improv background, but stand-up is different.
If you're playing a character that someone doesn't like, that's okay, but if you're voicing your own opinions, they actually don't like you!
I wasn't funny. My brother was the funny one in the family.
I wasn't very good in my serious acting class. Sometimes people took our class so seriously, so I used to, sort of, make fun of people after class. And so a friend of mine said, 'Why don't you do the comedy thing.' That's how it all worked out.
I wanted to be a dramatic actress. Life doesn't go the way you think it's going to go.
The minute I started doing comedy, the doors opened.
The best thing about animated-feature people is that they are very laid-back people. You feel like you're showing up for a backyard barbecue.
Dating is... weird.
Unless you write your own movies... you can't really say what you want to say.
There's something about me that suggests I don't have an intelligent atom in me at all. So people say things to me that they wouldn't say to other people. Insulting, condescending things. They don't think I notice. But, of course, I'm taking it all in.
Stand-up is a weird animal. There are people who really want to know what you think about things, your opinion on life. But then there are people who think you're just that beautician in 'Legally Blonde,' who doesn't have opinions on anything. Or that I'm Stifler's mom and hot for it all the time.
When I go on 'The View,' or any of those talk shows, you really don't get to say what you want to say.
The British boys really, really go nuts... to them, an older woman is sexy, and it's an incredible fantasy... I think the American fantasy is still about men wanting control. Maybe American men don't feel as in control of their lives.
Younger guy are attracted to a strong quality.
A lot of those good-looking girl parts aren't very fun.
I've been many people. I've been the skinny girl. I've been the fat girl. Because I've become a character actress, I sort of fell victim to 'Well, I don't have to look good anymore.'
