Being [in] a show that you get to say good-bye instead of being asked to leave is a real honor.

When everything gets turned upside down, it only leads to better quality stuff.

I love to have the people watching [The Office ] just because it's fun to have people watching, but our fans are so dedicated, so smart and so cool for the most part. We don't have these fans that overwhelm you if they see you on the street. They're like, 'Love the show', or 'What an idiot. You should have said something to her last week.' I'm like, 'I know.'

When you have two people that good in a movie, I think it adds a class and a feeling of importance for other actors that they want to be involved.

There's the push and pull you put on yourself and the push and pull the world puts on you. Most of the time, the world's going to win out, because it's just logical that you should be more successful and more motivated. You can always be more.

I don't want my kids to ever think that I am choosing my job over them.

We live in a very modern age and the dynamic of raising kids and being a professional are intersecting a lot more - especially for women.
