I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.

If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.

It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.

When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

I don't know about the romantic comedy route, although never say never.

The weddings that I've been in have been pretty mellow.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'

I think no matter what kind of life you have, whether it looks one way to people or another way, you always have moments when you imagine a different life.

A woman could be as beautiful as she felt herself to be.

A stink. A stench. A foulness in her mind, dreadful and unforgiving. A compost of horrible ideas and rotted thoughts that made her want to take our her brain and wash it.

At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.

I am not brutal or cruel to animals. My mission has always been to save dogs - especially troubled and abandoned dogs. I've dedicated my life to this.

Oftentimes when I do a project I do get influenced by the wardrobe. I certainly learned a lot from 'Mad Men' and from Janie (Bryant) in particular. She's just so fabulous.

Being a woman in music and having kids, it's very hard to do both without neglecting one a bit.

Let peace and beauty reign.

A man may forgive many wrongs, but he cannot easily forgive anyone who makes it plain that his conversation is tedious.

It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.

Hawaii is the birthplace of surfing, and many Hawaiians or part-Hawaiians surf, but in the rest of the United States it's a pretty white sport.
