I actually feel like, for a lot of my career, I wasn't able to show my comedic range. I did a lot of dramas and dramedies. I was on 'E.R.' That's not generally thought of as a funny show.

More quotes by Busy Philipps
I've always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid, and was always doing bits for my friends and family.
Busy Philipps
I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there's nothing guilty about it.
Busy Philipps
It gets super dark. I did a bunch of intense indie movies when I was starting out in my career and I was always in a bad mood because, when you're dealing with the subject matter of losing your baby, getting raped and all that stuff, it's not fun to go through. You really have to go there.
Busy Philipps
Every episode has a purpose to move the story forward.
Busy Philipps
Nobody wants to see a bejeweled pregnant lady from top to bottom.
Busy Philipps
I'm in the middle of my own 'Project Runway' challenge given to me by my daughter's preschool. All the parents have to make an outfit for their kids, for school pictures, made entirely out of recycled objects. I can not believe I have homework.
Busy Philipps
Sometimes that happens when people don't really know how long they're going to have to stretch their story out for.
Busy Philipps
The good thing about being pregnant is that I don't have to worry about sucking it in or dieting!
Busy Philipps
There are some people that don't take jobs because they think that they're too good for them or that they aspire to do something greater than the job that they're being presented with. I've just never been from that school.
Busy Philipps
I'm somebody who doesn't work with a stylist. I'll be honest with you, I'm a mom and it's just not something I want to put money toward because it's expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things so I don't have a stylist.
Busy Philipps
I would never be on a reality show.
Busy Philipps
'Freaks and Geeks' was a show where our individuality was really celebrated.
Busy Philipps
Even though I do a more traditional type of being funny on television, I still know a lot of comedians and stand-ups and improv actors.
Busy Philipps
I have the same pet peeve as Anderson Cooper, which is bare feet in public. I hate it. It so grosses me out, especially in New York. Oh my God, New York in the summer with people and their feet in their sandals and their flip-flops, like get it away!
Busy Philipps
I only became a celebrity because I had a kid. Before I was pregnant nobody cared. I joke to my agent that having a baby made my career.
Busy Philipps
And then I went to 'Dawson's Creek,' which is a show that was, for better or for worse, all about the language. It was a word-perfect show, which I'd never had any experience with. And it was really shocking for me. I felt really hemmed in. At the time, it wasn't my favorite working experience.
Busy Philipps
I do like to pop in and help my friends out when I can, or be a part of their projects.
Busy Philipps
I certainly did plays in high school and community theater, and I want to get back on the stage.
Busy Philipps
My mother accidentally gave me food poisoning. She fed me baby carrots for a snack before Christmas dinner - but they had expired in June! I threw up for the next 24 hours.
Busy Philipps
After 'Freaks and Geeks,' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks, every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek,' and it just looked ridiculous, so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.
