Zitat des Tages von Jennifer Coolidge:
I always find the most depressing stuff most interesting.
A man's ability to haggle is never a turn-on. The only thing less romantic than how much you paid is how much you saved. The last thing we want to hear is how you talked the jeweler down on our new earrings.
When you're on this major English estate, breathing in the English air, and it's untouched, you can feel its presence. It's a whole different feel. It really felt like we were there living it. It didn't feel modern, ever.
As young, hot actors living in Hollywood, you get even more attractive.
'Best in Show' legitimized me, and it was a great experience in Vancouver for six weeks with all those dogs!
There is something about a phony that creeps me out so much.
Keri Russell is one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life. She's one of those girls that doesn't have that thing when you walk into the trailer in the morning, and your face is all bashed in - like a lot of actors, even the beautiful and handsome ones.
The best thing about animated-feature people is that they are very laid-back people. You feel like you're showing up for a backyard barbecue.
I always date younger men. For some reason that's just the way it's gone, because younger guys have always asked me out and I accept.
Some people are really nice about it. I get Saudi princes and famous people stopping me in L.A. and saying, 'You're Stifler's mom. Can I take a picture with you?' But then you get people like her putting their camera in your face without asking. They think they can do whatever they like.
If you're playing a character that someone doesn't like, that's okay, but if you're voicing your own opinions, they actually don't like you!
I kind of waited for opportunities to be handed to me. I think I was lazy, and when things didn't go right, I just said, 'Oh well.'
I know what I am capable of. I read a character, and if I can say to myself, 'I know this woman,' then I take the role.
I was thinking, 'If I go bald, I might do something like Bret Michaels and have it all attached to a handkerchief.'
I always remember this neighbor who would ask me to babysit for her. She looked like Jayne Mansfield, and I remember babysitting for, like, five hours and she would pay me 80 cents, with a phony smile. I used to go home fuming to my mum.
I would say 90 percent of the scripts that show up on my door are women who have had lots of plastic surgery that are married to rich men - sort of a trophy wife.
All the guys that entered The Groundlings, like Will Ferrell, already had incredible confidence, but I watched shut down women that didn't even have a personality completely become different human beings because of the training.
I wasn't allowed to watch regular television when I was growing up, only PBS, so I watched 'Masterpiece Theatre' and a lot of Jane Austen. I loved stories where the girl is attracted to a man and it looks like it's not going to work out.
I think I'm comedy-attractive, but it's never gonna be me and Charlize Theron up there.
The odd things that people say to you are so much more hilarious than what you can come up with.
No one purposefully paints a bad painting. It's someone who's trying to do a good painting, but it's terrible. I have one with a matador, and the bull is going through the blanket. You can tell the painter didn't know how to paint it.
When you leave L.A. and go to another city, guys are normal again. They like girls their own age.
I'm kind of harsher than most people.
The standup thing has been really fun, really seeing the United States instead of reading about it.
Dating is... weird.
When I walk into a video arcade filled with 16- or 17-year-old boys, I may as well be Marilyn Monroe.
Las Vegas honors women - Celine Dion, Bette Midler, Britney Spears. I love that Las Vegas celebrates women.
The one thing that has helped sustain my career as an actress and a comedian is that people generally view me as fundamentally stupid.
I don't think men really fall in love with the outspoken girl.
People have this view, 'Oh, you're in movies, your life is so glamorous' but it can really suck.
The British boys really, really go nuts... to them, an older woman is sexy, and it's an incredible fantasy... I think the American fantasy is still about men wanting control. Maybe American men don't feel as in control of their lives.
I play so many weirdos in movies that it's nice to play an attractive woman.
I have been able to sniff out a phony.
The minute I started doing comedy, the doors opened.
I don't actually go on the Internet that much.
I don't think my career would be as good if I were a serious actress. Comedy is less age-conscious.
