I was wearing my best Gap turtleneck and my dates were two adult lesbians, so yea, I was pretty cool.

I got a fan letter on the back of a prison menu. And I remember thinking, 'Well, they get pie. It's not so bad. They get pie on the weekends.' I want to say blueberry and also a Boston cream pie. Not so bad.

Life is improvisation.

You've got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it.

I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age.

there was an assumption that I was personally attacking Sarah Palin by impersonating her on TV. No one ever said it was 'mean' when Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford falling down all the time. No one ever accused Dana Carvey or Darrell Hammond or Dan Aykroyd of 'going too far' in their political impressions. You see what I'm getting at here. I am not mean and Mrs. Palin is not fragile. To imply otherwise is a disservice to us both.

My work is my work. I take my work seriously but I don't take myself too seriously.
