I got a lot of texts from friends and emails from friends and most of them were just pure jealousy.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

I find Billy Eichner to be hilarious, though I also imagine that for many, a little goes a long way. Billy provides a kind of comedy the Parks and Recreations show did not have - an insane person screaming at everyone, and our job going forward, as it is with all of our characters, is to develop him and make him more three dimensional.

As a viewer of TV shows, I always like shows more when I just feel like the people in charge have a plan. You can just tell sometimes, 'Oh, there's a plan there. They have an idea for how this is going to unfold.'

The news is a public service. It's a way to inform people of what's going on in their world. And when you make it about ratings and make it about ad dollars, there's no incentive to inform people. The incentive is to be sensationalistic and get as many people to watch as you can without any regard for truth or objectivity.

If the doors aren't open, just kick them in and keep walking.

You should be nice to people because it's better to be nice to people than mean to people, not because you think there's something in it for you.
