It`s a great way to start the day, hearing you`ve been nominated for an Emmy. It`s just thrilling.

I grew up with brothers. I love men. Of course it`s hard to be a woman in a man`s world.

I`m afraid of flying.

Most Republicans call the show `The Left Wing.`

Someone said I wasn`t attractive enough. People say those things, but they make you stronger. Then you can win an Emmy and think, ha, ha, ha.

I like people trying to do two things at once.

If I could stomach the awful part of being a veterinarian, which involves sticking your hand up animals` behinds, I would be a vet.

An agent said he didn`t know what to do with me, I wouldn`t be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.

Listen, I`m an actor. I can make anyone believe anything. I don`t have to know what the hell I`m talking about.

(On her height) "Years ago, one casting agent told me that the only roles I could play were lesbians and aliens."

I hate auditioning so much. I like people who go, `You know what? Allison can do this.`

Everyone couldn`t be happier and more terrified.

I can tell when men are threatened by my height.

I`d like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.

I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.

One out of forty American men wears women`s clothing. We`ve had more than forty presidents. One of these guys has been dancing around the Oval Office in a prom dress.

It is a very difficult job, being the servant of two masters.

(on staying sane and happy) "Dogs tether you to the earth in some really good way. And exercise, of course. And martinis. And sexy high heels. That`s it. Good work, a nice pair of heels, a martini, a dog and a man - not necessarily in that order." - as quoted in the magazine Living Fit

Great drama is all about conflict, and what`s a better conflict than Republican-Democrat?

I have the power of my height. Growing up, it was a total drawback. There was nothing good about it at all.

I can access emotions very easily.
