Congeniality Quotes

The first Miss Congeniality (2000) gave me the chance to do broad comedy that had nothing to do with being the romantic interest. The girl-next-door thing went away with that film and I tend to do characters that I want to be more like. In the beginning, though, I was sort of the `action girl`. And then with While You Were Sleeping (1995), I was the romantic-comedy girl. But when I took time off, I thought, `There`s something I`m missing here.` I literally had to start from scratch.

At the prom this year I was voted most Hollywood-bound. Everyone was like, `Oh what a surprise.` I had a little bit of an advantage, being in the business. But I also won Mr. Congeniality. That was one that meant something.
