I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky, briefly, in the '90s, and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.
From Janeane Garofalo
It's been hard in entertainment as a 45-year-old woman to find jobs. They get fewer and far between if you're older, unless you're one of the few lucky ones who work constantly, like Meryl Streep.
You just need an opportunity and then you yourself have to do a good job, and then you hope that people go, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about her.'
I would say just in general, in life, I'm more willing to be animated as a person, and so obviously onstage as well.
I'm grateful for any opportunity to act.
I do not enjoy when people don't like me.
I would prefer to be well-liked in any and all situations.
I'm not a disciplined writer.
I mostly get takeout, I have to admit - I don't know if that's something to be ashamed of. I'm not much of a cook.
I've seen other comics, with great pleasure, watching their own specials, and I don't know how or why they do it.
