People think that the directors direct actors. No. Really, what the director's doing is directing the audience's eye through the film.

Comedy is ridiculously hard. And if the rhythm is not right, if the music or the line is not right, it's not funny.

Loving someone is giving them the power to break your heart, but trusting them not to.

At the Golden Globes, they put all the bigger stars in the front; the movie stars in the front, TV actors in the back. But even as a movie star, you can be outseated by a bigger star in any given year. It's kind of hilarious. You have to take it in stride.

I love it, to have the same crew. I'm not married. I don't have children. My 17-year-old dog died. I'm kind of on my own. So I really like having the same camera guy for four years. I love looking around and seeing the hair and makeup people who have been there from the beginning.
