Lisa Kudrow's Quotes

• For me, doing Wonderland (2003) wasn't about strategy. The story was compelling, it was written really well, I thought I understood the characters, and I just wanted to be in it. I've never gone wrong whenever I've done that, and I haven't done that a lot of times.
• We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is - which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights who will grow up to be an adult.
• There are some issues I'm more conservative on. As a parent, I'm concerned that there are so many young, young, young kids - like 12 years old - that are starting to have sex.
• [April 2006] I think, on network television, I'm still Phoebe to people and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
• [on Friends (1994)] It was the best experience, an unusually good one in television. We all got along. The producers were great. It was wonderful being involved. I was extraordinarily lucky.
