My parents were opera singers and voice teachers, so growing up, I admired musicians and dancers.

If a studio sees that a female can bring in audiences, then they're going to make movies with that person.

I've always wanted to do a female buddy film, the kind the guys get to do.

I can install toilets. I know all about the wax ring. I can tile floors. I'm learning how to do basic wiring.

My mission is to get on the stage and say, 'Listen, I'm a woman, I'm free, I'm a mother, I'm a lover, I'm a friend; I'm shattered by men most of the time, but I'll keep falling in love with them because it's the most thrilling thing in the world; that's what makes me human.'

I think, in general, when you're doing comedy, you're having a good time regardless of the comedy table tennis that you're playing. I think you want that, too: you're rooting for two characters to be together, and you should feel that even when they're angry at each other, they're still in synch with each other.

You can't pretend to be witty because wit is dry, subtle, lacerating, cynical, elitist, and risque - all impossible to fake. Humor, on the other hand, is broad, soothing, positive, inclusive, and smutty - to make sure everybody gets it. Pretending to be humorous is easy, and a great many people are doing it.

The most romantic thing I've done is too personal to say.
