“I'm not afraid of clowns.”

“I don't know how I could love my daughter anymore than I do. I couldn't, and I don't know how I could, love my parents anymore than I do.”

“The thing I love about 'American Horror Story' is that even at its scariest there are so many layers and there's always this dark humor that runs through it. That's what has kept me hooked.”

“For me to look skinny on camera would require me to have a really violent eating disorder, and I refuse to do that. I also refuse to knock other women down to make myself feel better.”

“Nurse Jamie's Uplift Beauty Roller is the perfect thing to have when you're sitting in a car in traffic. You just roll it on your face and it feels like a mini massage.”

“It's rare, it's rare that you meet your soul people at work.”

“I think all of us have had tough times in our lives and we haven't had to do it on the glare of a camera.”

“The problem is that when I see scary things - even though I make a television show that is about scary things - if I watch something else, I will still be up in the middle of the night terrified by what I saw in that movie or on that TV show. It tortures me! So I can't watch that stuff.”

“I know that Karl Lagerfeld has spoken extensively about how people that wear sweats have given up. Well, maybe Karl Lagerfeld didn't have to do drop-off.”

“I just always feel like if you're adopted I don't know if you could have been wanted any more than you are.”

“I always have to have a Bed Bath & Beyond 20 percent - off coupon on me at all times, because you never know.”

“Billy Eichner is one of my most favorite people on the face of the planet.”

“I shoot scenes where I get chills.”

“If I work until 10 o'clock in the morning and then my call time's 5:30 that night or whatever, I don't go home and then get a good eight hours of sleep and then I'm back. You know, I have a kid. I have a husband. I live in a house with other people.”

“I have to tell you, when we were doing 'Popular,' no one cared. No one watched it, no one had any idea what I was talking about when I said I was on this show.”

“When you watch a horror movie or you're watching comedy, they're not passive; they are things that you're involved in because they're eliciting a real reaction from you.”

“My parents had very strict rules about TV watching. They didn't want me to ever watch it during the week and my weekend TV time was limited. As a result I was OBSESSED with it and would do anything to get TV time.”

“All of the characters I've played are my babies, but I do have a very special affinity for Ursula. I think she is the most fun. The words that I got to say, were just so insane, and mean, and direct. And I think she speaks in a way that all of us wish we could just talk to people, and not care and not be burdened by a conscience.”

“I mean, I really was known for doing just straight up comedy before and I certainly didn't think of myself as somebody who would be on 'American Horror Story.'”

“As an actor, it's the hardest thing to try to get work.”
