The thing about women playing boys is that we're not going to age, and we're not going to go through puberty in the middle of a long-running series.

My roles in the '80s were, like, gender dysphoric. I wasn't pretty, I wasn't this, I wasn't that. And I am kind of butchy, you know. That's just my thing.

I went from buying my own condominium and a car for myself when I was 17 on 'The Facts of Life' to not being able to pay my rent. I was at the unemployment office all the time. I had to sell my record collection just to make ends meet. And then I started getting these voice-over jobs.

One of the things I learned in animation is that you never, ever want to start doing a voice that you can't sustain for four straight hours.

Everybody hates you when you're the best, and everybody hates you when you're the worst.

Before 'Lucky Louie,' nobody would ever cast me to play a mom or a wife; nobody ever saw me in that role, which is weird, since that's who I really am.
