I've always loved movies and loved the idea of playing make-believe. That was my favorite game, growing up as a child, was make-believe, and to be able to do it as an adult is awesome.

I'm not in a mood to fight for things. I feel excited about my career, and I really feel like anything's possible and within my reach.

For me, anything that you take on, you want to be challenged. That's what makes the job exciting.

What I love most is the art, is making art, acting and being on set, and being a part of the process of making a movie.

I've lived this very dramatic life, with high points and terrible low points. Nothing has been ordinary, and I want to have the experience of the last breath. I want a little drama to it.

The first time I performed at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, I was in the back of the room doing vocal exercises. 'Me-me-me, my-my-my, mo-mo-mo.' And I'm looking around, and no one else is doing it. I'm like, 'They must have done it before they came to the club.' I came to realize that I was an idiot.

Usually, my favorite joke is whichever joke I most recently came up with that surprised me the first time I thought of it.

A wise woman recognizes when her life is out of balance and summons the courage to act to correct it, she knows the meaning of true generosity, happiness is the reward for a life lived in harmony, with a courage and grace.
