My dad always played Anne Murray in the car on the way to the dump when I was a kid.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.

I think at times I read too much of my own press. I wish I was better at taking in how great my life is, but that's surprisingly elusive. I tend to be very hard on myself and insecure about failing no matter what happens.

I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.

The worst thing to happen at the Oscars would be if nothing happened. You want something unscripted, something to riff on, something kinda out there.

There are times when I'm under the weather and the corporate machine tries to put me in the recording booth anyway. It's always up to me to say, 'Guys, listen to me, listen to what I sound like. I'm not myself.'

There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.
