- Phyllis: I walked around in my own anonymity for years. When I was younger, I may have turned a few heads because I was tall and thin. I wasn't real attractive, just sort of in the nebulous middle. Then I got older and got heavy, and people stopped holding doors for me at the bank-it was like I wasn't even there.

- Phyllis: (on dating anyone; during a September 2007 interview) No one's ever asked me about that. Right now, I'm just not in a relationship. I've met a couple Mr. Almosts, but no Mr. Right.

- Phyllis: (On working as a casting director for 18 years) I had been honing a craft I didn't really know I was honing. God did have a better plan for me.
