As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.

In terms of threshold, as long as it's based in reality, you can go pretty far, as long as you buy that it's really happening.

When someone really believes in what they're saying, but it's crazy, it's like my favorite thing on earth.

I think if anyone tells you the odds are slim, just keep walking. Just do whatever the hell you want to do, because they don't know what they're talking about. When you love something, and you work really really hard at it, you can do it.

To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world. I think it's what football is to some guys.

I do think comedy needs to be a living thing, but I think without a great script and fully realized characters, you cannot keep it living. Otherwise it just becomes long and rambling indulgent.

I'm always tinkering with something - suddenly I'll think I can work with wood, but then I'll realize I can't, so I go back to sewing.
