- 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.

- 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.
