I never believe them when they say that because you really have to sort of be aware of what's going on in the news in order to get the jokes on the show.

Sex with my first boyfriend was a little bit like learning how to put in a tampon, but only half as enjoyable!

I don't think that comedy is going to affect or change anything. I remember back in 2004 people were like, "How does it feel knowing that you're going to be part of the shifting tide in the political system?" And in the end nothing changed, and we weren't part of anything. And we're not happy anywhere. I think we're kind of hoping, obviously, but it didn't really have a great impact on people.

I think NASCAR's coming to Canada now so it'll take on a whole new relevance. Be afraid.

It's very disconcerting to have a camera shoved in your face. It's really discombobulating. If you're the least bit nervous you forget what you just said, you can't find your way through, you can't follow the logic of your own statements sometimes. It's a weird sensation. And I think that really helps to lock people in place.

I don't think the show would be funny to you if you didn't already have a base of information.

I grew up an only child, so I was so much more adult. My eldest daughter is 10, and I was so much more of an adult than she is. She just doesn't care for the real world. She's not interested.
