It's important to being a healthy person. So while you're here on the earth, you might as well enjoy it. And it's hard to enjoy things when you're crazy.

I think there's nothing better than laughing in life, so that's nice, to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know, my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine.

Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.

I think acting has helped me come out of my shell because when I play a character, I can't be self-conscious.

I think there's a million talented people out there, it's just a matter of luck a lot of the time.

I think America has a bad rap right now... and hopefully Obama will change that.

I can't imagine being a single parent or a single parent that doesn't have a lot of money. That's a big, huge impact on your life and your dynamic and everything - I mean, that's huge. It affects how much you have a break from just concentrating on just one other person in your life. It becomes so myopic that way, and more intense, probably.
