There's a certain truism that you can't be self-conscious in comedy. If I'm in it and if there's a scene that has a great set-up, I will go as far as somebody will let me.

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.

I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.

I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.

As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.

When you look at all of the male characters on television and in film, it's not like every one of them are the people doing the right thing that you can point to as your own moral compass.

What I love about our show is that it's so nuanced and feels very real to me. I think how it explores creativity in general is very real.

I think casting a show is an art form in and of itself. We're all so different - the cast is made up partly of real stand-ups, partly of actors, and then partly of just legendary actors.

Twitter's a lot of work! That's the first thing I would say. There's so much pressure to be funny.

There is nothing better than a laugh in life. There just isn't.

Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were an hour, I would die for you. This is the miracle of love.

The most optimistic part of life is its mortality… God is a real genius.

Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.

Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.

Each temptation leaves us better or worse; neutrality is impossible.

If there be a God and one has never sought him, it will be small consolation to remember that one could not get proof of his existence.

If a person lacks self- acceptance, he can't live with himself; if he lacks self-criticism, others can't live with him.

There are shantytowns in South Africa that are built better than Renaults!

I have drawn inspiration from the Marine Corps, the Jewish struggle in Palestine and Israel, and the Irish

Conscious awareness is the source of our healing...Only when you say the truth can the truth set you free. This is not a negative process, but at times it is a difficult process.
