Famous quotes by Jenna Elfman:

"Sting! I mean, come on - whoe doesn't love Sting? Even if you love Megadeath, you have respect for Sting. If you love Pokemon, you'll find out who Sting is someday."

"No. It's on films I've done and such. And I was a dancer and I performed music videos. It's just, I've been around."

"That's what I find is just the work ethic of some of my peers I've noticed, and it has to do with how they were raised. And I didn't come from a lot of money either, so I never had any kind of strange thing that can happen with rich kids where they're not always given discipline. Not always, but I've seen that sometimes. But it happens with people with no money too, so. . . ."

"A lot of my peers that I've worked with (not on this show) are not on time and think it's absolutely OK to have attitude and treat people like crap. You can't be some self-important entitled brat. When you're late and you act like a jerk, it affects the dynamic of the whole set."

"I've never had the opportunity to play these kinds of scenes or tell this kind of a story. [Filming] was so much fun and such a discovery for me, I felt like Columbus."

"We had this conversation, and everybody in the room just disappeared. We were talking about our favorite old movies and all were the same ones. We just clicked in terms of our creative ideas. Edward and I really became good friends."

"It's a cliche, but just being nominated is cool."

"I'm not some big party chick, so it's not like I have to keep up my big social life."

"I can't say I can foresee the future and tell the stars, you know. But I do have an understanding for my own reality, just elements and things that I've learned from."

"Not hippie - my parents were not hippies - but they were very supportive and encouraging, and that does a lot for someone, and it gives them a lot of confidence."

"Playing in front of an audience was just such a turn-on for me, and you have 200 people in the audience and it's like doing live theater. And filming something that goes to millions of people several weeks later, it's an interesting dynamic."

"I got good notice from that show, and on the last day of filming Townies, Twentieth Century Fox called wanting to meet with me about a development deal."

"It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing."

"It's such a pleasurable experience to look back, and all of the fun I had just comes rushing back."

"I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved, and you can have great marriages, and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television."

"I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!"

"It proved to me, though, that comedy is so much harder."

"The most memorable moment was playing drums with Bob Dylan."

"And you know, we did it as an independent film, and we weren't expecting it to be on television, and Lifetime ended up buying it. And the viewers responded intensely to that film."

"Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that's definitely a challenge."
