I grew up in Houston, in a pretty urbane setting.

Every role that you play comes with its own set of challenges.

I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person.

I haven't been offered a lot of comedy. In theater, I've done quite a bit of comedy or dramas that included a lot of funny stuff. But in my TV work, those aren't the roles that I've been offered.

Show business is, essentially, a fear-based industry.

For my first gig, I got $75. I could make money being funny, so I pursued it as a career and have turned it into a lucrative business.

My dream career would be to be in things that have real heart and are telling real stories but while doing that, you're getting really big laughs. I don't necessarily love the straight crazy comedies. 'Caddyshack' is amazing, but there's not a lot of new 'Caddyshack's.

I loved my boarding school, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a career.
