I try not to blame the public, because the public - men, especially - have seen not great portrayals of women in supporting roles, because they're not given the lead roles a lot of the time. Especially in comedy, they're relegated to the adversary, which is like "the mean girlfriend."

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

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

The British model, which I've always thought was great, is that you do a TV show and then they sell it. Then you can buy it at the video stores forever, so it never went away. But American TV used to be if you had a show and it got cancelled, then it never existed. It was just this thing you heard about and you couldn't see it again. There is something so great about shows getting released and people getting to watch them over and over again. It definitely takes the sting out of it.

I'm not a painter who's saying, "I want people to see my work when I die; it will be this and that." That's not satisfying to me.

You can never have a thousand percent batting average on jokes - it's just never going to happen.

You just have to be classy at the end of the day. That doesn't mean you can't go with a midnight blue tux. And if you can find a deep red tux that looks classy and classic, I think you can pull it off.
