I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.

I think that being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.

I think people pick up on that. You use personal stuff and mix it all in - I definitely pull on that stuff in my acting.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

When I was on 'Saturday Night Live,' all I did was work.

If it's not happening, write your own thing!

You can make the audience laugh, be funny and sad at the same time.
