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

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.

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

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.

I spent 10 years in New York doing theater.

We get there at noon, and basically run through each scene a couple of times, then shoot at 7 p.m. We`re usually done by 11 p.m.

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

I don`t consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

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

I`ve always just gone with the best role, and I don`t care if it`s in theater, film or television.

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

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

I was a character actress, a comedienne.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

I want to play a Disney villainess so badly.

I`m really thrilled to be on this show, but it`s also a very intense experience, and there`s an adjustment period which I`m deep in the heart of.

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

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