You don't want to be the first person to tell your 5-year-old, like, 'You're going to have a life filled with disappointments and letdowns - enjoy!'

If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.

I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.

I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.

I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.

I like being a funny lady. I think theres nothing sexier than a funny lady.

There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.
