So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: “Is this person in between me and what I want to do?” If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you.

You have to try your hardest to be at the top of your game and improve every joke you can until the last possible second, and then you have to let it go.

Doing one movie every two years is about all I can handle 'cause, being the creator at '30 Rock', my year there starts in the middle of June and goes back around until March.

I don't enjoy any kind of danger or volatility. I don't have that kind of 'I love the bad guys' thing. No, no thank you. I like nice people.

One of the great things about doing animated movies is that you don't have to dress up or put on make-up.

I don't live the single life and never really did.

Life is improvisation. All of those [improv] classes were like church to me. The training had seeped into me and changed who I am.
