That's when the great stuff happens, when you're not checking yourself all the time, being critical of yourself and what other people are doing.

My face is my career.

I always wanted to be a good actress and a serious actress. I wasn't in the profession to, quote-unquote, meet the stars.

There's nothing obvious or predictable in acting. That's what it means to be in this profession.

Comedy is my favorite genre. I think it often doesn't get the respect it deserves, and I think one of the reasons is there was a tradition in the past of comedy looking kind of brightly lit and like a sitcom.

While many of us never knew Ronald Reagan personally, we felt close to him because we shared his lighthearted sense of humor, admired his uncommon virtue, and were moved by his remarkable wisdom.

That's what's great about standup comedy: the instant feedback. You get up on stage, you tell a joke, if it doesn't work, come back the next day with a better version of it.

Acting-wise, I haven't done a lot of comedy, so I would love to work with Jane Lynch. I think she's hilarious.
