To actually be allowed to be beautiful is a total first for me.

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

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

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

And to be different is great. You don’t want to be the same.

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

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.

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

I spent 10 years in New York doing theater.

I’d so much rather people think I was funny than pretty.

I want to play a Disney villainess so badly.

I think Janeane Garofalo is incredibly funny, and I love Dennis Miller.

May I say, if you were suddenly put into a woman’s body, wouldn’t you be slightly interested in your breasts, and why people look at certain parts of you, and why certain parts move like they do?

I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.

I’ve always just gone with the best role, and I don’t care if it’s in theater, film or television.

I really came out to L.A. to take the money and run.

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

It was only when I moved to New York that I realized tall is good.

To actually be allowed to be beautiful is a total first for me.

I’m a strong person, but I’d never resort to violence.

If you love it, and work really hard at it, it will really happen, I believe. I’m living proof.

When you’re that tall, people talk about it all the time.

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

But this show reminds me that there are other aspects to me besides the fact that I’m a funny chick.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.
