I grew up in a house of forthright women. ”

I've gone up for loads of jobs in the past that I knew were going to be terrible, and I've done my best, and I still haven't got them. So I think I've been lucky in who's decided I'd be worthy of their time. ”

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new. ”

For some reason, I find that in the course of my career I've worked with more women than most men have. ”

Put it this way: singing is not my day job. ”

I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from 'The Wonder Years,' rather than Brad Pitt. ”

I often talk to myself while walking down the street. I did it as a kid. ”

I don't think the public here buy this idea that women and men speak different comedic languages. ”

All of this talk of recession offends me. I am delighted that bankers have less money. ”

The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers. ”
