If I can surround myself with hilarious people every day, I will always want to go to work.

I can fall asleep anywhere.

Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful.

Sometimes I look at where we've come to, and how much technology and advancement there is, and I can't believe that we're not this perfectly balanced, beautiful, peaceful society. I'm shocked that we're so deeply polarized, that there are people who want progress and they feel guilty for wanting progress, because it somehow seems un-American, because being American means staying ignorant and going backward.

As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.

I took a Groundlings class in my 20s, and I was terrible. They didn't even pass me to the next level.

I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.
