When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's like my favorite thing on earth.

More eccentric characters can push pretty far, but if you stay on the side of reality, it's always funnier.

I wanted to be a drag queen so badly. I'll bet I still own more wigs than any drag queen - I love me a wig.

When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's, like, my favorite thing on earth.

I just figure if it has my name on it, and I want to make people feel good about wearing it, I can't pass it off.

My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.

I'm a huge 'Ghostbusters' fan. I've seen it, like, 10,000 times, so I couldn't be more looking forward to a reboot.

I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.'

I love to watch someone who just goes for it and isn't worried about whether it's silly or awkward or unflattering.

As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.

I think there are people who really love the comfort of their small town, and there are people who feel stuck by it.

I just think we tear down women in this country for all these superficial reasons, and women are so great and strong.

Funny is funny, and it can come in 8 billion different shades and flavors, so I think it's silly to kind of limit it.

I don't associate with people who blame the world for their problems. You are your problem. You are also your solution.

I've never been interested in playing the boring ingenue. I always wonder: Who's her weird friend? I like the oddballs.

We're a weird bunch at 'Mike & Molly.' We go to work, and we're crazy about each other, and we love where we go to work.

I have experience dressing me as a 6, a 12, and more. And when you go above a size 12, you don't lose your love of fashion.

To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world. I think it's what football is to some guys.

In terms of threshold, as long as it's based in reality, you can go pretty far, as long as you buy that it's really happening.

I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'

People don't stop at a size 12. I feel like there's a big thing missing where you can't dress to your mood above a certain number.

I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.

You just have to say, 'It’s pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I’m OK with it. I've got other things to think about.'

I'm always tinkering with something - suddenly I'll think I can work with wood, but then I'll realize I can't, so I go back to sewing.

My parents are kind and accepting. Because so many of my friends were gay, it was just an accepted thing in my house. I was very lucky.

I've watched women being hideously unattractive, personality-wise and physically, all the time. But these women never end up on screen.

It's like I'm managing to achieve all this success in spite of my affliction ... Would you ever put that in the headline for a male star?

I ran right back to work. My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.

When I read a character that I really, really love, I know immediately what they look like. It's like I want to 100 percent become that person.

I did nothing but dramas for seven years in New York. I didn't really start anything comedic until I moved out to L.A. and found The Groundlings.

One of the best parts of a woman's body is that curve, and I go a little bit higher on all of my things to show off the best part of the hourglass.

If somebody's doing something, and you're laughing, and at the same time you're so embarrassed for them, it's my absolute kind of favorite type of laugh.

I have caught my reflection and thought, 'Oof. That girl is struggling. That girl is tired.' I've had mornings where I'm like, 'Oh God, I have weird hair.'

The goal was to work enough to pay my bills and stop going through the couch looking for change. Going way beyond that isn't something I really factored in.

There are a lot of funny women in my life. I never understand those movies where there's eight funny guys and two women who don't have any opinion or humour.

I was always Missy, never Melissa. I went to college, and I thought it was so much more interesting to go by a different name, and then it just kind of stuck.

Ben and I live like hermits. The night of a concert, we'll be like, 'Do you think we can get tickets?' And everybody is like, 'No, why didn't you do this earlier?'

I feel intensely guilty for working... You have to be able to provide for your kids. But I feel like it's a weird modern phenomenon that you always feel guilty for it.

I've been every size in the world. Parts of my twenties, I was in great shape, but I didn't appreciate it. 'If I was a 6 or an 8,' I thought, 'Why aren't I a 2 or a 4?'

I have an overactive sense of justice. I want women to realize you don't have to work for the company. You can run the company. I want the scope for them to be endless.

I've grown to love L.A., but it's the most socially awkward place. All these people have come there not to be something but to pretend to be someone trying to be someone.

I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'

At some point in the past, it was decided that women in comedy are never supposed to be shown in an unflattering light. But in comedy, you need all of your tools to be funny.

I don't like to do anything that's mean spirited just because I don't find it funny. I'd rather be the jackass than makes fun of somebody else. It just seems too cheap and easy.

Ben and I have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood that's all actors and the Sunset Strip. We crave talking to people who do different things and are passionate about it.

Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.'

I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, 'I don't know if I can take the actors.'

In my 20s I used to cry about why I wasn’t thinner or prettier, but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like: ‘I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes …

Somebody ripped their pants open at my wedding, dipping my mother. My mother is not a lady who throws herself into a dip that often, so I don't think he thought she was really going to do it.

In a lot of comedies, they kind of take all the problems away from the women. They give her great clothes, great hair; she almost always owns an artisanal shop, like a cheese shop in Manhattan.
