Amy's mother, Sharon, died of lung cancer.

Amy: I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there.
(edit)
Amy (On Sarah Jessica Parker): Whenever I need something, like nut bowls, I call Sarah, and she's always so thankful that I'm not calling her for anything other than that... She's great, very small-town for such a big star.
(edit)
Amy: I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
(edit)
Amy: More men than women like Strangers With Candy. Pretty girls don’t like the show. They don’t like to see an ugly lady.
(edit)
Amy: Books are challenging and inspirational to me.
