Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?

I don't think you have to be perfect to be a role model.

Be funny whenever possible, even if some people don't get it.

My first lessons in comedy, how to construct a joke, I learned from Eileen Brennan, who had unbelievable timing.

[Maggie Smith] brings new meaning to the phrase "doesn't suffer fools." She has just the most amazing, dry timing of anyone ever, I think. I think everyone's always known about it, but with her resurgence on Downton Abbey, a whole new generation has been introduced to it, which is just great.

I'll be a role model on my terms, but don't make a role model on your terms.

In school, I had two or three best guy friends, but mostly if I was just hanging, I'd like to talk to the girls, because they were more interesting. I think they were smarter.
