I Am Not Phoebe
    How I got here…
    I had always, when I was little, I wanted to be an actress—it’s so weird—I always wanted to be an actress and, I’ve sort of, I just put it on a shelf, when I was in high school and college, really 1)squelched any of those desires. And whenever I’d come back from college on a break, I’d get these little, like whispers or feelings about, “Yeah I want to, I could do this. I think you could do this.” It’s like, “Yeah, but you can’t, you know, be an actual person that you’d respect and do this, so just put it away again and go back to school and do something honorable.” And, when I moved back, it…it just overtook me. I don’t know how else to say it. It just overtook me, that I had to, I had to pursue acting. I could do it and I wanted to do it. So I’ve taken a lot of acting classes, I studied it in college, I’ve never learned more than I learned from 2)The Groundlings and doing 3)improvisation.
    Lucia and I…
    Oh, I loved playing Lucia (in the Opposite of Sex). You know, I…I recognized so much of myself in her, because of that 4)rigidity. You know, I was talking about it myself as a teenager and young adult, just…I had all these rules and just sort of like an emotional disconnect, you know.
    Phoebe and I…
    In the beginning, …in the beginning, people would meet me and just, treat me like I was this, like a, like a performer at their kid’s birthday party sort of. You know what I mean? “Oh hey, I know you’ll want to do this!” like dying to perform any opportunity I can. You know, every time I met someone. That was always funny to me, just thinking that I would love to, I can’t wait to. And sometimes I’d even make, when they get really persistent, I’d make up something about, “You know I’m really not allowed because…that’s property of 5)Warner Brothers and, I’m not allowed. I’ll look into it. You know what, ’cause people ask, this comes up a lot. I need to find out if I can do this or not.”
    It’s, it’s a mixed bag of emotions, you know. I…I love everybody I’m working with, and, it’s a good show, people like it, people watch it. That’s all good. But, it’s fine that it’s time to move on. I mean, honestly, I can’t see doing this for another ten years. You know, it has to end at some point. This is as good a time as any.
    I’ll miss, you know, those five actors and, the executive producers I’ve become you know friendly with. I don’t know that I’ll miss, I think I’ll even miss…Phoebe, or being her, you know, like putting on those, putting on that person...just putting on that skin of Phoebe, I’ll miss that. Anyway, I miss being so, you know, unreasonably optimistic and cheerful about absolutely everything, ’cause that was nice. That was a nice thing to do every day.

    我的演員夢
    從很小的時候開始,我就一直想當演員——說來也怪,雖然我一直想當演員,在中學和大學時代,我卻壓制住這樣的念頭,把演員夢束之高閣。然而每次大學放假回來,我都會有這種感覺在竊竊私語:“是的,我想做……我可以干這行,我認為自己能干這行,”另一個聲音接著又說,“不錯,但這樣的話你就不能成為受人尊敬的那種人,還是把這種想法拋到一邊,回學校去,做更體面的事情?!比欢厝ヒ院?,這樣的念頭忽然間又充斥著我的腦海——我想不出用其它的方式來表達——它忽然間充斥著我的腦海,告訴我必須要投身演藝事業(yè)。我可以干這行,而且這也是我一直夢寐以求的。于是我在大學里修了很多的表演課程。通過在低價座觀眾劇團表演即興小品,我獲得了前所未有的收益。
    我喜歡的角色
    哦,我喜歡演(《性的對立面》里的)露莎。你知道,因為她性格耿直,我在她身上看到了自己。我指的是青少年和剛成年時期的自己。我需要顧及的條條框框太多了,以至幾乎產(chǎn)生了感情障礙。
    我的《老友記》
    開始的時候,開始的時候人們一見到我,就當我是他們孩子生日派對上的表演者,有點這種味道。你明白我的意思吧?“哦,嘿,我知道你想這么做!”就像我一有機會都要搶著去表演似的。知道嗎,每次我遇見不認識的人都是如此。一想到他們認為我不僅喜歡那種表演,而且迫不及待,我就覺得挺好笑。有的時候在他們一再堅持之下,我甚至會編出借口說,“你知道嗎,我真的沒有權(quán)利這么做,因為……那歸華納兄弟公司所有,我不能這么做。我再去查查看,為什么呢,因為人們老是提這個要求。我得去弄清楚我到底能不能這么做?!?BR>    酸甜苦辣都有,你知道。我喜歡和我共事的每個人,而且這是個很棒的電視節(jié)目,大家都喜歡它,大家都來捧場。這都是好事,但是,到了該收手的時候,這也很好。我的意思是……老實說,我無法想象這部劇再拍一個十年。你也知道,天下沒有不散的筵席。現(xiàn)在就是一個好時機。
    我會想念那五位演員,還有制片主任——我跟他們已經(jīng)成為了好朋友。我不知道我是否會想念……我認為我甚至會想念……菲比,或者說飾演菲比。就像變成……變成那個人……我會懷念進入菲比的這個角色的時候。不管怎么說,我懷念她能對所有事情都這么沒來由的樂觀和開朗,因為那樣很好,是每天都應(yīng)有的態(tài)度。
