My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.

I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !

I'm Jewish, but my mom's Catholic, so the guilt area is covered. I have the highest expectations, along with the lowest. I tried to put as much of myself as possible in Reality Bites, but in terms of my humor, I'm still trying to figure out what my sensibility is. It's a process, really. I don't feel like I have a very clear idea of what I'm supposed to be, or even of how people perceive me, except that I got put into this Generation X file.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

Maybe forced retirement isn't necessary after all.

I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.

I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.
