We live in a time where improv is king and people love improv, and I think there's a time and a place for that and people who are really good at structuring improv.

Most of my comedy is accidental, I would say. If I don't know what the joke is, I'm going to play it better than if I do.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

You know what, maybe I just want a different kind of life. Maybe I want to open an antique store and coffee shop, and have a different kind of life.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

Tomorrow you promise yourself will be different, yet tomorrow is too often a repetition of today.

If you are not open to the unprecedented, you will repeat history. If you are open to the unprecedented, you will change history. The difference is prayer.

Everything changes

There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie: the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations.

A lot of cities are making a real effort, neighborhood by neighborhood, to make themselves into a place where life can be pretty good.

The plants have taught me they don't like to be potted too long - it's very restrictive to them so I would plant them outside if you could, or in a green house.

By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy.

Creativity is a gift, but if you don't know how to use it you might not even know it's there. There's a lot of creativity in the air, but it's meaningless if you're not open to receiving it.

Our job if you will, is to roll the stone away. God's job is to raise the dead.

You can't talk about attacking or assassinating the President of the United States and you shouldn't be able to.
