I feel like when I go on stage I feel so excited at the prospect that there will be a true connection.

I'd like to do a little bit of everything. I think the only thing I can't do is a British accent, so that's out. No Shakespeare for me. Unless it's like one of those modern-day remakes.

I always just wanted to be a movie actress, like Lily Tomlin or Ruth Gordon. I just imagined myself being in a movie, wearing stylish women's clothing the way I saw Amy Irving wearing it.

I'm competitive and I have a messy purse, but otherwise, I like people to think I'm a winner.

Nowadays, performers who want to create their own material put it on the Internet. I never knew whether or not it would make an impression - and frankly, I didn't care that much about how it would be received.

I have no regrets. The best thing to happen to me was for Lorne Michaels to hire me and fire me.

I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
