I've always called myself a writer/performer, not an actor because I basically write what I perform.

The sad thing about true stupidity is that you can do absolutely nothing about it.

I don't miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.

I think you can write very good comedy without a partner, but what I love about it, working with a partner, is that you get to places you'd never get on your own. It's like when God was designing the world and decided we couldn't have children without a partner; it was a way of mixing up the genes so you'd get a more interesting product.

If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you open to my ideas

I don't want to hurt people.

I learned a lot of things about literature talking to people at the publishing company. Did you know that about 90 percent of celebrity autobiographies are ghostwritten?
