If you're gonna tell a story from beginning to end, I always think you have to have a great structure in a script. If it gets you excited and it's something you've never read before that's another plus. I think also with improv and that whole world of stand-up, that's a whole other organism of comedy that still needs a story, but it's more free-form. On the set, it is the combination of both those worlds coming together: a great script and an allowance to play with it.

There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.

I don't ever want to come home saying, 'I should have spoken my mind. I shouldn't have let someone say something that I didn't feel was right.'

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family - an extended family.

I will do comedy until the day I die: inappropriate comedy, funny comedy, gender-bending, twisting comedy, whatever comedy is out there.

Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
