McCarthy: "I think the whole reason I act is because it's much more fun to be somebody else. I'm pretty boring."
McCarthy: "Everybody's a train wreck in their own very special way. But there's something wildly freeing about someone who's unapologetic, who knows they're a wreck and doesn't even try to hide it, just bulldozes through life."
McCarthy: "I would love to be directed by more women."
McCarthy: "I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.' But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you."
McCarthy: "When I believe in something, I'm like a dog with a bone."
McCarthy: "I didn't really know how to write jokes, so I just told weird, long stories about being tall and beautiful and wealthy in New York. I'd tell them very seriously, but I kind of looked like a drag queen at the time with big wigs and crazy 12-inch platform heels."
McCarthy: "As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh."
McCarthy: "In my 20s, I used to cry about why I wasn't thinner or prettier, but I want to add that I also used to cry about things like, 'I wish my hair would grow faster. I wish I had different shoes...' I was an idiot... It's a decade of tears."
McCarthy: "I just think that wigs and makeup and costumes completely transform me."
McCarthy: "I believe it matters how you treat people. I believe in Heaven. I don't believe that this is it, and then we're done. I have a lovely relationship with God, although when I've lost someone or I've seen a sick child, I've had conversations with Him in which I've had to ask, 'How can that be right?'"
McCarthy: "I want to make each piece of clothing work 15 different ways."
