Comedy writers have the most fragile egos.

If I can muster up any allure in my life, at this stage, I wouldn't mind doing that.

I found it to be smooth sailing - 100 percent smooth sailing my whole career.

I don't need marriage. I don't need anyone to take care of all my needs and desires. I can take care of them myself now.

I'm actually an impatient person. I'm very suited for television because with the process, it's six weeks from the time you come up with an episode until when it airs. We can't drag it out that long. With film, and this is not a profound observation or an original one; it can go on endlessly unless the movie's like incredibly topical. That's the challenge for me, as an impatient person who wants see things come to life. ... I mean, it's just this feeling I get when I see a movie I love.

When I was a kid, my parents smartly raised us to keep quiet, be respectful to older people, and generally not question adults all that much. I think that's because they were assuming that 99 percent of the time, we'd be interacting with worthy, smart adults... They didn't ever tell me 'Sometimes you will meet idiots who are technically adults and authority figures. You don't have to do what they say.

I don't want to be skinny. I'm constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don't beat myself up over it.
