Personal Quotes

"I don't know what to do with myself between films. I end up doing unhealthy things like shopping or drinking. I'm pretty schizophrenic about it."

(On appearing in Don Roos's edgy dark comedy The Opposite of Sex (1998)): "I wanted to do a bigger movie with a broader audience. I realized there are people between the coasts that have no idea I've worked since "Roseanne" (1988).

"Right now, I'm very healthy. I have no vices left. Except sugary breakfast cereal. And absinthe, of course."

(On co-starring in NBC's A Family Torn Apart (1993) (TV) which co-stars Neil Patrick Harris): "I wanted to do something a little diverse from that people were used to seeing me do. I'm just a big fan of true-life crime stories. I'm not a violent person".
