“I do think television has really fantasized it to the point where now ...” — Lindsay Mendez Quote

I do think television has really fantasized it to the point where now everyone wants a gay best friend.

I love my body. I love representing people who aren't stick figures, because people aren't.

I'm a big Broadway fan and a big MGM fan.

I loved Judy Garland growing up, and I also loved Ella Fitzgerald.

The first time I didn't get called back at an audition, I cried. My mom told me, 'We're doing this for fun, and if it's not fun anymore, we're not going to do it. So if you ever cry again, we're going to stop.' I never cried from then on, and I kept that lesson for the rest of my life.

There was a point in my life and my career where I had less than $100 to spend on both of my kids for Christmas. I remember telling myself, I remember telling my best friend, I said, 'This will never happen again.' I will not let this happen. I mean, $100 for me to spend on my family, friends, everybody.

My body's my best friend.

I have my best friend in Natalya. That's who I stick to and I don't go out and party or anything like that or socialize a lot with the other divas.

I'm an insomniac. Ambien is my best friend.

It's such a fun experience getting to kind of create something from nothing with your best friend.
