When I was growing up in New York City, my father was a taxi driver for a time.

Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging.

To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.

One must never look for happiness: one meets it by the way.
