The things we fear the most have already happened to us.

You can start any 'Monty Python' routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand.

On stage you're free. You can say and do things that if you said and did any place else, you'd be arrested.

It's frightening and exhilarating. It's like combat. Look at the metaphors: You kill when it works; you die when it doesn't.

My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings. And a favorite book as a child? Growing up, it was 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' - I would read the whole C.S. Lewis series out loud to my kids. I was once reading to Zelda, and she said 'don't do any voices. Just read it as yourself.' So I did, I just read it straight, and she said 'that's better.'

I don't do well with snakes and I can't dance.

I used food to make myself feel better, but I felt worse when I ate.
