#	Quote
1	I would never be Emily’s friend in real life. She’s so opinionated and status quo – definitely not my kind of woman.
2	I have played a couple of nice moms in my career [think Jennifer Grey’s mom in the classic film Dirty Dancing] but, in my opinion, playing nice is a complete bore! The nastier they are the more fun they are [as in Howard Stern’s mom in Private Parts, perhaps?].
3	My friends and neighbors get such a kick out of watching me on television and in movies. They see me do and say things that I would never even think of doing in my real life. They just think it is hysterical, especially when I play mean.
4	My relationship with Lauren is nothing like the roles we play on the show. I am just crazy about my girls. Practically from the moment [Lauren and I] met, we had an instant connect. We never even had to discuss what we wanted to do with our roles. It’s as if we have this emotional shorthand.
