MEMORABLE MARY LYNN RAJSKUB QUOTES

"Being so plain on the show forced me to want to be more glam."
(on what makes her happy): "Well, I started by doing comedy, and my comedy was sort of based on how comfortable I was with myself. I would be on stage, alone, and the jokes where people would laugh were coming out of my genuine uncomfortableness with myself. So, what makes me happy is that I feel like was able to express something unique to me that other people can relate to. It makes me happy to be able to do that. It's fun to take something that you're sort of scared of and turn it into something actually very powerful."
(on working on 24): "It's a pretty dreamy job. As an actor, I think you're always looking for a character like Chloe where there's so much that can be done."
(on how she got into comedy): "I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy."
"I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted." (on marriage and relationships)
"I have to paint at least two times a week and there's not enough time in the day to do everything." (on art and acting)
