I'd played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.
Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.
I always felt like I could be funny, but there was a part of me that always judged actors so harshly... I thought all actors were dumb-that they must have serious emotional problems. Even if they don't, that's the perception I had of them. I didn't want anyone to see me that way.
