I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

God was showing off when he made you.

I think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.

I think you never want to have to go into the scene having to improvise; you want to make sure its working on the page. But I do like to have the ability to try stuff just in the moment, to give it some sort of spontaneity.

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.

I recently watched that Lucie Arnaz-produced documentary [Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie, 1992] about her parents [Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz], and I saw so much of my own childhood there.
