I've always been exactly who I am on TV. I'm not playing a role.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
On every show that I have been on, I have played myself.
I'm primarily a character actress.
I don't doll myself up for TV because I want people to accept me for who I am.
I'm just a character actor.
I am not an actor. Yes, every so often I appear on talk shows to promote something I've written, and I enjoy doing so because I have a lot of stories to tell, and I like making audiences laugh. But that's not acting. That's just me being me.
Many people think I'm a television personality. I never have been! Just someone who acts it.
I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.
Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.
I've been acting all along. I understand that I haven't been in people's viewers, but acting has never not been a part of my life, just more time in between and less high-profile.
