Wendi McLendon-Covey Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Wendi: (On Hollywood's pressure to be thin) Well, first you have to ask yourself if you want to be the kind of actress who's interesting, or the kind of actress who's meant to play the pretty-but-uninteresting wife of a chubby guy on a network sitcom. If you want to play the good roles, spend more time in college and in acting class than you do in the gym, and you'll have the career you want. Talent always wins out in the long run.
