Humor is very healing. ”

When you're the mom in a big family comedy, you have to get your personality when you can. ”

I don't know if I realized that I was funny, but I realized how healing and important humor was in my childhood. ”

My mother gets told, 'Oh, you're so lucky that your daughters are doing so well.' She never corrects anybody when they assume Helen is her daughter. ”

I'm right on the edge of getting another movie. It's between me and a famous person. The studio said they're thinking about going with somebody with a name. I said, 'That's great! Because I have one!' ”

I love talking to people and finding out their opinion. ”

Everybody knows when you're a struggling family; you don't really know it when you're a kid. But you do know the difference between stress and moments of relief where there's, like, this happiness. ”

I am a storyteller, and I take great pride in the storytelling and a great joy. ”

I like regular meals and restaurants that will adapt things to your taste. Not a place where they roll their eyes if you want the sauce on the side. ”

I've been so fortunate in my career and my own life just to have all these opportunities, and the talk show has always been one of my favorite formats. ”
