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.

Reading was a way to make friends or enemies, a way to discover how all these different people exist in the world and to rub shoulders with them. The ability to feel as if you have met someone, as if that person exists in flesh and blood and that you relate to them somehow, makes you feel a lot less lonely. And it also makes you feel very brave.

Sometimes painful things can teach us lessons that we didn't think we needed to know.

If you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with without denigrating them or insulting them, then you may actually be heard.

President Bush threw out the first pitch Monday at Cincinnati's great American ball park. 18 Iraqis were killed.

Watching great people do what you love is a good way to start learning how to do it yourself.

Any actor or actress that tells you that they don't watch their stuff is lying.
