It’s funny, there are so many women who are former executives and have taken all that stress and anxiety and transferred it onto their kids.

I actually like character work, so for me, generally speaking, I enjoy it. It's a little bit more of a comfortable suit you put back on. You can explore it and have fun with it and push the limits of it.

I like playing the same person over and over again. I've done shows for over a year on Broadway, and I never get bored.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.

It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.

Writers tend to hate recurring characters; there's this writer snob thing about it. But I don't have that. I feel like the challenge is always to find a cool and innovative way to do it and, obviously, to not repeat your jokes.

I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.
