I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day.

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.

I did ask Larry David, "How did I get so lucky? How am I here Seinfeld?" He just said, 'Well, when you say your name over and over it just has a really strong rhythm: "Marisa Tomei. Marisa Tomei."

Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health.

You have your structure, but within it, it gets fuller and you can highlight other parts of the performance.

It's hard to transfer one person's type of comic timing or approach to another person's. It's something you innately hear like a rhythm in your ear.

I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!
