What I love about doing live theater and the same material night after night is... you can live inside the same words. There comes a great joy in that, in making it so clear because you've had the time to define it.
-
You can have a plan, but you have to be flexible. Every day is unpredictable, and you just have to go with the flow.
-
People's arrest tapes, mug shots, everything is online.
-
I hope wit comes through in all the characters I portray.
-
I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.
-
I think of the Roundabout as my musical theater family here in New York City.
-
Female movie stars from the pre-Code era of Hollywood, like Mae West, could be so raunchy and witty before they were edited. Sometimes they could go further in their wit than we go now.
-
I have trouble keeping plants alive. Even plastic ones.
-
The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.
-
I, like almost every actor in the world, auditioned for 'Friends.' I wish I had gotten that one. I actually auditioned for Rachel and didn't go very far.
-
There are days that I love just devoting to going to the park and playing with my son, but then sometimes you have to leave out other things, or if work is a full day of work, perhaps I miss the play time with my son, and I guess the only struggle is trying to not shortchange any of the things that you want to do.
-
I love the story of how my parents met because it seems very 1950s Brooklyn. They met on a brownstone stoop as my father was singing a little doo-wop.
-
My great-grandparents came from Poland. Interestingly enough, they were named Adam and Eve. But I do not believe they are the original.
-
I find something funny when it lives on many levels - a level of self-deprecation, of knowledge and heightened reality.
-
Once you learn how to roller skate for 'Starlight Express,' it's a lifelong skill you have acquired.
-
If I'm ever lucky enough to be part of an awards tribute, I hope they play 'Muffin Top' in my little clip. That's how I want to be remembered.
-
My motto is 'In Tina Fey I trust.'
-
I'm a New York girl. I want to stay here and raise my son here.
-
Yes, I have a good sense of humor to sort of last a long time in show business, and I think to be able to find comedic value in who you are and the people that you work is always a good thing.
-
I never thought I'd sing or dance on national television.
-
I consider myself to be more real-sized than most of the actresses in California and in show business. They're very small. They're like miniature people.
-
I visited Krakow about 10 years ago, and when you're named Krakowski, you are very welcomed. I loved every minute of it. They had 'Ally McBeal' on Polish TV. People offered to drive us out to our family's farm.
-
There's never enough hours in the day to do what you want to do. What I've become OK with is that not everything can be done today. As long as I can get that time in with my son, then I can get all of the other stuff done today or tomorrow.
-
That's why I love doing live theater more than anything: You get an immediate reaction, whether it's good or bad.
