I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.

Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They're in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them.

I don't know what it must be like to be a writer in general, but to be a comedy writer, it's got to be something - it's a very special kind of talent.

I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.

The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.
