The awards world can be ridiculous, but I'm not one to bash it. I love awards! When I've been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn't have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class.

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

What I don't like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.

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

The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.

I'm really a skeptic. I'm kind of not a believer in the paranormal.

Every director should take an acting class.
