I don't think that I'm that easy to live with. I have to be reminded that I can have fun. I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s.

Theater is all about the rehearsal process. In fact, I think a lot of times opening night there's a mixed sadness because you're finished with a lot of people's favorite part of the process, which is finding the character and discovering it, and then you get to live it.

I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.

I started out in stand-up, so it's very satisfying to make people laugh, but it usually means at your own expense.

I became an actor because I couldn't not.
