I'm totally aware of how lucky I am. I have health, family, children. I do work that gives me total joy and allows me to make a living, and maybe, if I'm lucky enough, I'll feel I've fulfilled a little bit of service to society because I brought other people some laughter.

I hate to lull the audience into letting them think that something is something. It's always fun to defy expectations.

No one is any one thing.

All you're trying to do in an improvisation is get as much material as possible for the editing room.

A few years ago, I won a Tony for Little Me and I learned two important lessons from that experience. 1. Fair-weather friends are so much more interesting to be around and 2. It's amazing what this award fetches on E-Bay.

I've done lots of improv things but not a whole movie.

I have a kind of objective luxury about my career.
