The standup thing has been really fun, really seeing the United States instead of reading about it.
-
I've played a lot of weird women. I play crazy ladies, and I've played a lot of insane women and weird best friends that are not sexually desirable.
-
I can't get the serious roles. People don't see me that way.
-
I play so many weirdos in movies that it's nice to play an attractive woman.
-
Standup is just dirtier, a far more risque kind of thing.
-
I wasn't funny. My brother was the funny one in the family.
-
I have a storage unit, as I moved out of a bigger house into a smaller house in L.A. I put all my stuff in a storage unit, where I have the most amazing collection of bad paintings, which took me 10 years to put together.
-
Thank God for Stifler's mom. I don't know if life would be this fun if I didn't have that.
-
There is something about a phony that creeps me out so much.
-
I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.
-
When you're an actress, there are only a few times you can really get paid. One of them is doing a sequel. They can't fake you or hire another actor to play you.
-
Gina Gershon was a year ahead of me in college.
-
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 kind of waited for opportunities to be handed to me. I think I was lazy, and when things didn't go right, I just said, 'Oh well.'
-
'Best in Show' legitimized me, and it was a great experience in Vancouver for six weeks with all those dogs!
-
Some people are really nice about it. I get Saudi princes and famous people stopping me in L.A. and saying, 'You're Stifler's mom. Can I take a picture with you?' But then you get people like her putting their camera in your face without asking. They think they can do whatever they like.
-
I don't actually go on the Internet that much.
-
The one thing that has helped sustain my career as an actress and a comedian is that people generally view me as fundamentally stupid.
-
I'm so vain, all I could think was I should have stopped at 'American Pie.'
-
The minute I started doing comedy, the doors opened.
-
I'm so lucky I got a career in my 30s because these young girls aren't allowed to have their 20s. It's all being documented.
-
I am allergic to a certain kind of glue. Most eyelash glues are terrible, the glue in acrylic nails. I get a rash up my arm and face.
-
I love that topic, the whole relationship thing, and I think that's why I love all this stuff, the Jane Austen stuff.
-
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
