Costume Choice Quotes

I always loved Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast'. I always thought I looked like her, so I dressed like her for every Halloween.

The mask of the character was already written into the show, but I actually lobbied for a denser and more complete mask than they initially considered.

I think I look better in a suit than a loincloth. So that may define some of the parts I play.

I picked out my Halloween costume. I’m going as 'Slutty Madeleine Albright.'

I don't think I ever said, "I want to be an actress." But for Halloween, I dressed up as a movie star from when I was seven to when I was twelve. The costume was always a long dress, with makeup, and my hair curled, and jewelry on. And the movie star was always Jenny McCarthy. So right there you could see a little pattern.

American Graffiti was the first movie where the director let me have any input. It was the first time anyone ever listened to me. George thought my character should have a crew cut, but I wasn't happy with that idea. I'd always had pretty long hair back then - in college, particularly - so I told George my character should wear a cowboy hat. George thought about it and he remembered a bunch of guys from Modesto, California, who cruised around, like my character, and wore cowboy hats, so it turned out that it actually fit the movie.

I don't think I ever wore pants on 'Reno 911!' and I was on it about five times.
