If my life wasn't funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.

The older you get, the easier it is to spot the phonies. And I just think, how unpleasant for them.

What I really like is the marriage of both [writing and acting] - for instance, with Postcards. I don't actually act in it, but I worked on it with Mike [Nichols] as I went along, creating the character, so it was a bit like acting for me.

I used to want to gamble, too, until I was 20 and could actually go to a casino. Then I wasn't so crazy about the attitude.

I'm really grateful that I could write. But I don't even mind it going on around me.

No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.

Drugs made me feel more normal.
