I think a lot of actors, comedians, musicians, artists are drawn to this world, because you're allowed to excavate whatever it is that you're struggling with, and hopefully turn it into art.

People order clothes out of a catalogue, put it on an actor and everything is generic.

I realised that conforming didn't accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you're cool.

I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

People who do comedy really are the nastiest people on the planet.

I never realized that as a woman I would be looked at as less than until I was pretty deep in this business and realized, 'Oh my God. I'm being treated this way because I'm female.
