Movies I liked growing up were like Francis Ford Coppolla movies and Scorsese movies.

I have never taken myself that seriously as an actor.

It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.

I think the way it works is that when you're casting a movie, you usually want to work with people that you believe in.

I'm a female in comedy, so of course I want there to be more women on 'SNL', and women of color.

I think, in our darkest moments, you have to find the humor, and you have to find the lightness.

I'm happy to say that at 62, I think I've reached that point where stuff doesn't bother me as much, and my gratitude level has gone way up, especially having gone through the loss that I've had, and losing so many of the great artists that I was close to. They taught me how to see it with a grain of salt and a lot of humor and perspective.

I've always said people say on a dramatic show, 'I was crying. It was so emotional when he went and grabbed that little girl from a burning building and handed her over to her mother.' In comedy, the best thing you can say is, 'I think it's funny.'
