- Auditioned for the role of Monica on Friends (1994) Vicki on Suddenly Susan (1996) and Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond (1996). Didn't get any of these parts, but appeared on Friends (1994) and Everybody Loves Raymond (1996) in recurring roles.
- Voiced all the female characters, namely the evil Melodia and the heroic Emily Hart/Steelheart on the Silverhawks (1986) animated series of the mid-1980s.
- Has two daughters, Juno and Gemma, and they are five years apart in age. She really was pregnant with her eldest daughter when her Friends (1994) character Janice turned up heavily pregnant in one episode of the sitcom.
- Former girlfriend of David Duchovny.
- Her nasal voice as "Janice Litman" in Friends (1994) is not her real voice. Her real voice is actually a normal female voice and can be heard in shows such as Everybody Loves Raymond (1996).
- People like to hear me say, 'You love me, Chandler Bing. You just don't know you love me.'
- When Matt LeBlanc had his show 'Joey', I strongly suggested to the producers that they should bring me on.
- I grew up in New York City - I grew up surrounded by every sound that you imagine can come from a New Yorker. All of the different boroughs and all of the different sounds.
- My family and I have a little joke that if I'm feeling particularly blue, and nobody cares about me, I should just go to the airport! That is where I am most recognized.
- I met a woman who went through a very difficult personal crisis, and she was really bed-ridden for a long time, and 'Friends' got her through. I met a woman who had a brain injury while living in Europe, and 'Friends' got her through.
