I can be really silly, but I never get to do that. I'm always playing on-the-nose characters, professionals - lawyers, a serious news anchor, people with a really focused energy, which can become a cliched type.

It's not how pretty you are or how talented you are. It's that if these five people on this day in this room like you, then you get a job.

Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.

I have a real no-nonsense dad who taught me how to be resilient at a very young age.

I did comedy and parody television in the '70s. I was a liberal Democrat, and it was a very heady year.

I'll tell you one thing... no doubt about it, my favorite kind of comedy is talking head comedy. I mean, if it were up to me, I'd do a whole entire movie that was just around a dinner table.

Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don't. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch.

I guess, for me, I've always thought that there was humor everywhere. And as a kid, I just, you know, I grew up an only child, and I - sort of nothing made me happier than to make my parents laugh. I remember I had costumes and things laying around the house that I was, you know, anything that I could do to make my parents laugh.
