• Si hubiera crecido en Atlanta y luego me hubiera ido a Ottumwa, Iowa, podría haber sido un choque cultural, pero yo estaba acostumbrada a estar en una ciudad pequeña y a ver siempre a la misma gente y a ir a la misma tienda de comestibles todos los días, así que no fue para tanto.

• I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.

Podía ir andando al trabajo, que estaba en un par de teatros de Broadway, al estudio de Howard Stern y a 30 Rock para 'Letterman' y 'SNL'. Incluso en New York, ir andando al trabajo es hogareño y campechano, como vivir en un pueblo pequeño.
