There are no mistakes only opportunities.

I dreamed of being an actress when I was a little kid because you don't know then that the writer writes everything the actor is saying. But as I got older, I got into college and became more aware that writing is another option, and I started getting into it, too.

You don't just decide to destroy a person by making up stuff, and no one at 'SNL' is writing to go after someone.

I'm more of a writer than an actor, and I used to say that I'm mostly an improviser, though I haven't improvised in awhile.

The same ten minutes that magazines urge me to use for sit-ups and triceps dips, I used for sobbing.

Anne Hathaway you gave a stunning performance in "Les Miserables." I have not seen someone so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were onstage with James Franco at the Oscars.

Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. Let things be malleable.
