Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.

I've changed a lot, too! I'm different, too. I have far more in some ways to offer and far less in other ways to offer. That's life. And, you know, life goes on!

When you're dealing with your life, my God, you gotta tell the truth.

Everybody's got a sack of rocks.

People will always be around to tell you you're no good or you're wrong or unwise to keep doing what you want to do. They're wrong. They're always wrong. Keep going.

All of the writing on '30 Rock' is a joy to go into. It's pretty hot stuff.
