There's scenes where I really want to get things right, and all the kids know me as the person who says, 'Sorry.' I think I've gotten a lot better with that, but it's still the thing that I'm still worried about, trying to get the scene perfect.

One thing I learned about Jean-Marc is that he's very good with kids. He's very nice to the kids, especially.

When I first started acting, I knew that you have to learn different skills for different roles.

I'm not really a redhead, but I keep playing these redhead actresses. Which I don't mind; I think it's fun.

Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.

Many comedians and comedy writers have shared the childhood experience of learning to joke to protect themselves from neighborhood bullies when challenge or physical defense were not among the sensible options.

I'm not hurting anybody. Comedy's all about innuendo. I'm putting it out there just like anybody else.

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.
