I was the daughter of teachers, so school was always very important. I liked it.

To some people, not caring is supposed to be cool, commenting is more interesting than doing, and everything is judged and then disposed of in, like, five minutes. I'm not interested in those kinds of people.

But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.

Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release.

Do work that you are proud of with your talented friends.

Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.

Just breathe. Sometimes you're only a few breaths away from feeling better.

We have to agree beforehand to divide the funniest lines between us. But Tina [Fey] is so brilliant that I just love every moment working with her and also just hanging out together as friends.
