You're so in love with your children that you'd do anything for them; that's not necessarily the best thing.

I've thought a lot about success, because it's very strange to me that I've been successful.

I look at improvising as a prolonged game of chess. There's an opening gambit with your pawn in a complex game I have with one character, and lots of side games with other characters, and another game with myself - and in each game you make all these tiny, tiny moves that get you to the endgame.

I don't do anything to try to change people's perceptions of me. I tend to think that's sort of an ego driven thing.

I joined an improv group in college, which was a lot of fun. After I graduated, I moved to Chicago to try to get into the Second City.

Some people just derive great joy from making other people laugh. And I do, but I don't feel like I need to do it 24 hours a day.

I don't want to be pretentious about, "yes, I need to move in to the more dramatic roles and express myself and prove to everyone that I'm capable of doing it," it really isn't that, I think that's a bad reason to choose roles. It's more like, who would I be working with and would they be fun to do and entertaining to watch, is it an interesting story or character.
