Megan Mullally's Quotes

• It doesn't matter who you love, it's that you love.
• I didn't get Will & Grace (1998) until I was almost 40. Had I listened to everybody else who kept saying, 'Oh, there's too much competition, you'll never get an agent, you'll never get a part, 90 percent of actors are out of work," if I'd listened to that, if everybody listened to that, then nobody would leave the house and the world would come to a crashing halt.
• When I went up there and accepted the [second] Emmy, I remembered that when I was about 20, a psychic told me I was going to win two Emmys that were going to be like bookends for playing a secretary on a sitcom. And I said, 'I'm not going to do sitcoms. I'm a great actress and I'm going to change the world.'
• I'll quit coffee. It won't be easy drinking my Bailey's straight, but I'll get used to it. It'll still be the best part of waking up.
• I'm getting to do choreography, which I really love. Stephanie [Hunt] doesn't have any formal dance training. But she picks up the moves quickly. It's interesting, my coming from a dance background. I don't have anything to compare it to, except musical comedy. It's easier to break things down, even if you're working on a writing piece.
