Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily. ”

My father had a hotel, and people in show business used to stay there. He loved peformers and entertainment, and I grew up knowing that. ”

Comedy is very controlling - you are making people laugh. ”

I don't miss 'Saturday Night Live.' I feel less of a need for the fulfillment that performance used to give... I don't have to do everything right away. As long as I can walk and jump, I'll still perform, but I no longer feel such a compulsion. ”

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbulb. ”

I think clothes should make you feel safe. I like clothes you want to go to sleep in. I sometimes stand in front of a mirror and change a million times because I know I really want to wear my nightgown. ”

I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity. ”

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness. ”
