Nikki Cox

Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I’m really ill-prepared to do anything else.

I still don’t know quite what I’m supposed to do or be.

I think I’m as content as one can be.

When all of a sudden, people say, ‘Wow, you look nice,’ and carry on, it’s shocking. Really awkward.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

Mary and I look eerily similar but other than that, the differences are pretty much night and day.

We’ve had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He’s handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

I’m probably the most introverted extrovert you’ll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, ‘She was really good, but she’s just not cute enough.’

The only other thing that interested me as a kid was being a bricklayer. So if I hadn’t become an actress, I would probably be a bricklayer.

Filming scenes like that are always odd but I feel comfortable with Josh and care about him a great deal, so it could be much worse. Scenes like that are just part of the job.

You’re asking the wrong girl about fame. I’m hardly famous. I wouldn’t want to trade places with anyone else.

If I didn’t have fake nails, my fingers would be bloody stumps.
