I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.

I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

It's also that comedians don't have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They're writers who perform their own material. It's more interesting. And they're sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.

I'm thinking of doing more theatre. It makes me very happy.

To come to the Oscars for the first time and be seven months pregnant is quite a thing!

The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.
