My mother was ahead of her time as a woman.

I hate the word assistant. No one works for me. I work with everyone because I couldn't do anything without the people that I work with.

Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.

You can't have good comedy without drama in it.

I grew up in a way where I didn't realize there were limitations.I always thought I could speak my mind.

I've made mistakes, and I know why I made them, but I made that choice. Nobody's ever made a choice for me.

When I was a struggling actress in New York in my 20s I worked in a burger joint called Diane's Uptown. I actually loved waiting tables. I still keep who I was in my mind and never take anything for granted.
