We didn't used to be so precious about women in comedy back in the old days.

In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.

You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

With a suit, even if you're having a nervous breakdown, you still look like you're in charge.

I have an inability to enjoy things, but that's why we're in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn't be funny, I guess.

I'm glad I took the leap away from acting into going behind the camera because it's much more satisfying - I love acting and I still do, but it's much more satisfying to be able to make the stuff.

I mean Ally McBeal was sort of the closest thing I can think of to kind of being a comedy-drama but that had its own kind of style that meant it got kind of big sometimes. But it was a great show.
