Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer: You know what, I'm very, very lucky and I think being a comedian really helps. I think you have a much longer span as a comedian than you do as a dramatic actress because I think there's more competition for a dramatic actress. I feel like sometimes when I go in for auditions it's the same five or six people sitting in the room. You know what I mean, it's a smaller world.

(on taking accents and mannerisms from real people) Jennifer: I do shows, stage shows all the time, and I'm so afraid that people are going to recognize themselves, and they never do. They never do. They're always like, 'Oh, that woman was ridiculous,' and yeah, they're talking about themselves.

Jennifer: I prefer improvisation because you don't have to learn any lines. On Zoolander I thought I'd be improvising but Ben Stiller said no, you have to stick to the script. So I had to glue the words to the arm of the guy next to me.
