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.

You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.

I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

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

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'm not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.
