We don't really know the ultimate outcome of our lives. All we can say is, "Fate has brought me thus far. This is where my life is right now, and I can either choose to stay here, or I can make a different turn that will take me somewhere else." I certainly am an advocate of taking a jump off the tallest mountain and just hoping a net appears. More often than not, when you take those leaps of faith, something really incredible happens. It might just take some time. You might take a long, hard journey, but the end of it is usually a great one, I find.

No matter how you look, we all hurt the same, cry the same, and feel joy the same.

When people have eating disorders, they can't actually see what they truly look like because they're so clouded with their emotions.

I don't try to intellectualize characters too much. But I always think of the audience. I always make sure that my characters are likeable.

A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.

The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.

You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy.
