Surround yourself with people whose only mission in life is to see you succeed, and who know enough not to get between you and the camera.
How does it feel to be the biggest star of Muppets Most Wanted?
I wouldn’t say I was the biggest star, but I certainly am the most admired, talented, famous and beloved star of Muppets Most Wanted, opening in theatres nationwide on March 21, 2014
What’s the best part of being a famous movie star?
Having a publicist who answers most of these questions for me. Oh, and of course, moi’s fans. I adore you all!
Secret to being a fashion icon?
Don’t worry about inner beauty, concentrate on the outside—that’s what people look at first.
Can’t-leave-home-without beauty product?
A mirror. Without that, what’s the point of all the other stuff, n’est ce pas?!
If you could trade lives with ANOTHER ACTOR who would it be?
Barbra Streisand. I’ve always wanted to do a Farewell Tour and she seems to do them every couple of years. Sounds like fun!
Celebrity crush?
Besides Kermie? I tend to gravitate towards people who are comfortable sharing the spotlight with moi—but not the check for dinner
Describe your perfect date night
A frog. A box of chocolate. A blackout.
Favorite quote
I think it was the legendary Coco Chanel who said: “I don’t care what you think about me, I don’t think about you at all.” It’s very similar to my own motto: “I don’t care what you think about me, as long as you think about me and go see my new movie Muppets Most Wanted, opening in theatres nationwide on March 21, 2014”
Beauty icon
Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn. Something about those Hepburns; when it comes to beauty, they really cook.
Tell us—do blondes really have more fun?
Real, dyed or extensions? In any case, the answer is “yes” – unless it happens to be a day I’ve decided to go ginger.
What’s your latest iTunes download?/music?
In this order: Muppet soundtracks, romantic ballads, and “Songs to Woo Frogs By”: The Box Set
Favorite movie?
I would say Muppets Most Wanted but that sounds too self-serving. But it is fabulous and you must see it. Otherwise, I adore romantic comedies where the pig gets the frog .
Red Carpet mantra
My go-to mantra is: Hey, buddy! Get out of my key light.
I never leave home without my _____
My sense of style and breath mints.
Three words to describe me are:
Talented, beautiful, humble
Super power you wish you possessed
I am a super power. I don’t need one.
Proudest moment
Giving Tina Fey career advice. It was moi who told her to stick to comedy and forget catering. (Though I must say, she does make a fabulous tuna casserole.).
Guilty pleasures:
If it’s a pleasure, I don’t feel guilty about it.
Woman I admire most
Any woman who goes after her dream and never gives up. And I’m not just talking about famous people; I mean every woman who makes the effort no matter what others tell her. I know what that’s like. Hard to believe now, but when I got started some people thought I wouldn’t succeed. To which I say “HA!”
